Sanctions against Russia should remain in place until all the clauses of the Minsk peace deal on Donbas have been implemented and Ukraine's sovereignty has been restored.

"The sanctions should remain in place until the causes of their imposition have been eliminated, namely until the full restoration of our state's sovereignty and territorial integrity, including Crimea," he said at a joint press conference with President of the European Council Donald Tusk and President of the European Commission Jean-Claude Juncker in Kyiv on Thursday, July 13.
