The leaders of the European Union agreed to extend the sanctions against the Russian Federation for another six months at the summit in Brussels as Rikard Jozwiak, the correspondent of Radio Liberty reported on Twitter.
"The EU leaders agreed to extend the economic sanction for six months," he wrote.
The term of the sanctions against Russia ends on July 31.

Another 30 entities and 14 people joined the list.
