Ukrainian Diaspora supports extension of EU sanctions against Russia

"The Ukrainian World Congress calls on the EU Member States to continue strong support for Ukraine and its people, while it is protecting democracy and territorial integrity of the independent states, protecting the European values and promoting peace in the region," Choliy said. He recalled that the European leaders in March 2015 had linked lifting of sanctions against Russia with the complete fulfillment of the Minsk Agreements that was to be done until December 31. "However, Russia still violates its commitments," the President of the Ukrainian World Congress stressed.
