Russia: EU prolongs economic sanctions by six months
On 21 December 2017, the Council prolonged economic sanctions targeting specific sectors of the Russian economy until
31 July 2018
.
This decision follows an update from President Macron and Chancellor Merkel to the European Council of 14 December 2017 on the state of
implementation of the Minsk agreements
. The duration of the sanctions was linked to the complete implementation of the Minsk agreements by the European Council on 19 March 2015, which was foreseen to take place by 31 December 2015. Since this did not happen, and given that
the Minsk agreements have still not been fully implemented
, the Council has extended the sanctions by a further six months.
