She believes that this decision will be justified against the background of the EU’s non-recognition of the annexation of Crimea to Russia, as well as the alleged involvement of Moscow in the campaign of disinformation and cyber attacks against European countries.
“The EU should send a clear signal of further sanctions if Russia's illegal actions continue. The outdated agreement on partnership and cooperation between the EU and Russia should also be revised, ”RIA Novosti cites its words.
Earlier it was reported that Kalniete submitted to the EP a draft resolution, involving partnership with Russia only in mutually beneficial areas and in those that guarantee EU security.
Crimea became the Russian region after the referendum held there in March 2014, through which the majority of the inhabitants of the peninsula called for reunification with Russia.
