The U.S. may begin the process of easing sanctions against Russia if the latter complies with the Minsk agreements, but so far this is not on the agenda, U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Geoffrey Pyatt has said.

When asked in Kyiv on Thursday about the possibility of relaxing Washington's sanctions against Russia because of the release of Ukrainian MP Nadia Savchenko, Pyatt said that so far it is too early even to talk about easing of the sanctions.

The action plan on easing the sanctions is very clear. It envisages the implementation of the Minsk agreements, the ambassador said.
