The European Union (EU) leaders have decided to extend economic sanctions against Russia, European Council President Donald Tusk said.
"Agreed. EU will extend economic sanctions against Russia for their lack of implementing the Minsk Agreement," Tusk said on his Twitter account on 22 June, Xinhua news agency reported.
The EU made such a decision during a two-day summit in Brussels with security and defence, Brexit, migration and economic development on the agenda.
