Chairperson of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Volodymyr
Groysman had a meeting with EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and
Security Policy / Vice-President of the European Commission Federica Mogherini
has a meeting in Brussels (Belgium) on Wednesday.
The parties discussed a joint Ukraine - European Union
position on the #Russia's_aggression against Ukraine.
Groysman noted that as far as the Russian Federation
had occupied Crimea and a part of Donbas any lifting of the sanctions against
Ukraine's northern neighbor would be unacceptable and would be perceived as
"a prize for the aggression, murders and ignoring the international
law."
In turn, Mogherini noted that the EU countries would
take the decision to lift the sanctions against the Russian Federation only
after it implements all the provisions of the Minsk agreements in full.
Besides, the sanctions imposed after the annexation of Crimea will remain in
place until full de-occupation of the peninsula, the EU High Representative
noted. She also said that the EU will further not acknowledge the annexation of
Crimea.
Groysman and Mogherini also exchanged ideas as
to internal political situation in Ukraine.
