The FINANCIAL — The Council of the European Union on June 22 extended economic sanctions against Russia until 31 January 2016. The decision was taken in response to Russia’s destabilising role in Eastern Ukraine, a press release said, according to EU Neighbourhood Info.
The sanctions target certain exchanges with Russia in the financial, energy and defence sectors and dual-use goods.
EU leaders linked the duration of these sanctions to the complete implementation of the Minsk agreements, which is foreseen by 31 December 2015.
