Sanctions against Russia 'unconstructive' - Energy Ministry

MOSCOW. May 12 (Interfax) - Imposing sanctions on Russia is "unconstructive," Deputy Energy Ministry Anatoly Yanovsky said.

"Western sanctions against Russia are an unconstructive approach. It begs the question: who needs tension in regard to energy deliveries to the EU? Russia doesn't need them. We want normal trade and a normal price for our goods," Yanovsky told journalists.
