The EU agreed on a list of new sanctions against Russia, but did not immediately admit them – TVNZ

The EU in its communiqué on Monday evening said that finally agreed to an extension of sectoral sanctions against Russia.

Introduction of sanctions in force rescheduled for the next few days. During this time, the EU will have time to give their assessment of the implementation of the truce in the Ukraine, in force since September 5.

The document states that the sanctions against the Russian Federation may be fully or partially revised depending on the situation in Ukraine, according to RIA Novosti.

Earlier, the Russian prime minister Dmitry Medvedev said that the new restrictions on the financial sector of the West of our country “will have to respond asymmetrically».

“For example, restrictions on the transport sector. We believe that we have friendly relations with our partners, so the sky over Russia is open to the span. But if we are limited, we have to respond, “- said the prime minister, adding that the re-routing of flights may lead to the bankruptcy of many western airlines .
