Russia will not introduce sanctions against Ukraine, if Kyiv signs an association agreement with the European Union, said Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.

"We are not obsessed with 'the sanction itch' typical of some of our partners. We will not introduce sanctions against Ukraine and we will get back to a normal, most-favored nations trade regime," he said at a press conference after informal talks with his Polish and German counterparts.
