The changes in sanctions imposed on Moscow would have a positive effect on the economies of Russia and Germany, said Angela Merkel, Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany.
Nevertheless, the possibility of cancellation of sanctions will appear only in case the Donbass passes under the control of the Ukrainian side, the official explained. According to the head of the German government, initially economic sanctions were used against the backdrop of the situation in the Donetsk and Lugansk regions. In these territories there is no Kiev sovereignty.
However, if the ceasefire on the Donbas territory continues, it can become a platform for future decisions of a political nature. If the Minsk agreements are implemented, it will be possible to remove the anti-Russian sanctions, Merkel summed up. Recall, Prondra previously wrote that, according to the President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko, the Americans are not going to cancel sanctions against Russia until the Crimea returns to Ukraine and the end of the Donbas confrontation.
