Russian representative to the EU hopes that sanctions will be lifted this summer
A scenario where sanctions against Russia will be ‘eternal’ is contrary to the basic economic interests of the countries of the European Union, said Russia's Permanent Representative to the EU, Vladimir Chizhov.
Russia's permanent representative to the EU, Vladimir Chizhov, expressed hope that sanctions against the Russian Federation will be lifted in the summer 2016.
"I think at some point, the sanctions will be simply lifted, hopefully in the summer. To expect a solution that would allow us to cancel sanctions tomorrow — that would be too much. But that these sanctions will be eternal — that goes against the basic economic interests of the countries of the European Union," said Chizhov on the TV channel Russia-24.
