The European Parliament did not introduce an amendment to the draft annual report on the implementation of the common foreign and defense policy of the European Union with a proposal to lift the sanctions against Russia. This initiative of the deputy from Italy Mario Borgesio was not included in the document, which is scheduled to be discussed in December.. In the draft, an Italian called for a new approach in the relations of the European Union with its eastern neighbors. He proposed to fix in the document that "it is in the common interests of the EU and Russia to strengthen relations", that "it is advisable to lift the sanctions imposed on Russia, which do not achieve anything other than the economic crisis, which affects exporters, and increase instability in the sphere of foreign policy and defense ", quotes the text of the project RIA" News ". After voting in the Foreign Affairs Committee of the resolution of the EP, this item is absent, the agency notes. But in the text they included another amendment calling for "extending EU sanctions against Russia until it fulfills the Minsk agreements". The draft resolution states that "economic sanctions are a powerful instrument of coercive diplomacy".

Also, MEPs are proposed to fix in the document “condemnation of the support of Bashar al-Assad’s regime by Russia and Iran”. Taking into account the fact that the Speaker of the Verkhovna Rada Andrei Paruby was headlong in Brussels, Kiev can breathe freely and happily to celebrate the New Year. On the eve, the speaker of the Ukrainian parliament, at a meeting with the head of the European Parliament, Antonio Tajani, called on his European colleagues to strengthen sanctions against Russia, as well as to extend their validity to one year.
