Mogherini says EU ready to facilitate Normandy format, confirms connection of EU's anti-Russian sanctions with implementation of Minsk Agreements
The European Union is ready to facilitate the work of the Normandy format, High Representative of the EU for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Federica Mogherini has said.
"As you know, there are obligations and the format is facing certain challenges. We are ready to assist, provide support and maintenance. The most important thing is the content, not the form," she said at the Munich Security Conference on Saturday.
She confirmed that the EU's stance on the connection of the sanctions imposed on Russia with the implementation of the Minsk Agreements remains the same.
"You know that the European Union supports Ukraine in many directions. A complete implementation of the Minsk Agreements is important for us. As you know, the sanctions are imposed for an illegal annexation of Crimea and the conflict in eastern Ukraine and these sanctions are closely connected to a complete implementation of the Minsk Agreements. This stance of the EU remains," she said.
