Poroshenko to initiate extension of EU sanctions against Russia

President Petro Poroshenko during meetings with the leaders of the "G7" will discuss the continuation of sanctions against Russia for 12 months, not for 6, as now most of these countries do.

Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko during a TV linkup from Malta on the ICTV channel has said he is going to hold consultations with the G7 leaders in the near future regarding the situation in Donbas.

Poroshenko said he will begin these consultations with a visit to Germany on May 20, where he will hold talks with German Chancellor Angela Merkel. Telephone conversations and meetings with other leaders of the G7 are also scheduled.
