EU confirms rollover of Russia sanctions
European Union leaders agreed on Thursday to extend sanctions imposed on Russia for its intervention in Ukraine by another six months, European Council President Donald Tusk said.
“Agreed. EU will extend economic sanctions against Russia,” Tusk tweeted, confirming the bloc’s judgement that Moscow had failed to implement the conditions of the Minsk peace agreement.
Agreed. EU will extend economic sanctions against Russia for their lack of implementing the Minsk Agreement. #EUCO

The leaders were rubber-stamping a decision that had previously been taken by EU governments. The move extends the sanctions until January 2018
