Russia Considers No New Measures in Response to EU Sanctions Extension

Despite the prolongation of anti-Russia sanctions by the EU, Moscow will not introduce additional response measures.

 Russia's restrictive measures against EU member-countries are effective until August 2016, no new measures are being considered at this point, Natalia Timakova, Russian prime minister's press secretary, said Monday.

"Russia's restrictive measures are effective until August, new ones are not being planned at present," Timakova said.

The European Union on Monday extended economic sanctions against Russia for another six months, as Ukraine has failed to fully implement the Minsk peace accords.
