The European Union is evaluating the possibility of progressive easing of anti-Russian sanctions, but only if a ceasefire in Ukraine is agreed to, according to European Commission sources, APA reports citing Sky News.
The sources expressed hope that an initial 15-day ceasefire can be reached immediately, followed by an even longer pause in the fighting. According to them, partial easing of sanctions will be possible when phase two begins, but the plan for sanctions will be immediately reimplemented if any violations of the ceasefire occur.
