“Relations with Russia critically depend on whether a solution to the conflict is found, without which there will be no changes in the sanctions imposed by the EU against Russia,” he said.
Along with this, he expressed the hope that the summit held on December 9 would be “the first step towards resolving the conflict.”
“The EU confirms its support for France and Germany in their work in the Norman format. We are convinced that the only sustainable solution to the conflict can only occur within the framework of a dialogue in this format, ”he concluded.
Earlier, Borrel said there was no reason to abandon sanctions against Russia, "not having received anything in return" from Moscow.
