U.S. links termination of sanctions against Russia with full implementation of Minsk accords - Kerry
The United States links the termination of U.S. sanctions against the Russian Federation with the full implementation of the Minsk agreements, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry has stated.
"The Russian Federation faces a simple choice: to fully implement the Minsk agreements or continue to experience the impact of sanctions," Kerry said at the Munich Security Conference on Saturday.
He stressed the need for an unhindered humanitarian access to the territories not controlled by Ukrainian authorities, as well as holding "free elections according to Ukrainian laws."
At the same time, the official noted that Ukraine must also fulfill its part of the Minsk agreements.
