The EU will not lift sanctions against russia if the US does

The European Union is not going to lift sanctions against russia for its aggression against Ukraine, even if the United States takes this step.

The official was asked whether the EU would lift sanctions against russia if the US did so. He clearly answered that Brussels would pursue its sanctions policy, which does not depend on the decisions of the Trump administration.

“Given the policy of the new US administration, the EU has to take matters of its own security into its own hands, and this also applies to sanctions policy. You know that we are working on the 16th package now,” Dombrovskis said.
