EU sanction logic impedes efforts to overcome crisis in Ukraine - Lavrov

MOSCOW. May 19 (Interfax) - According to Moscow, the EU sanctions just impede efforts to resolve the Ukrainian crisis.

"The European Union's logic does not fit our modern reality, which exist on the continent, Ukraine and around it. Instead they just impede joint efforts to provide assistance in overcoming the deep domestic state crisis, which struck Ukraine," Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said at a news conference following talks with his Slovak counterpart Miroslav Lajcak.
