Russia is not conducting dialogue on further fate of anti-Russia sanctions with EU - Chizhov

MOSCOW. March 23 (Interfax) - Russia is not conducting dialogue with the European Union on the further fate of the anti-Russia sanctions, Russia's permanent representative to the EU Vladimir Chizhov said.

"We are not conducting any dialogue with the EU on the fate of the sanctions, their weakening, strengthening, prolongation, or lifting," Chizhov said on a Moscow-Brussels video linkup.

"Sanctions are a problem created by the European Union and the other countries, which imposed the sanctions. And they are the ones able to resolve these problems," Chizhov said.
