In Crimea, reacted to the extension of EU sanctions against Russia

He stated that "it is only regrettable that the strength of anti-Russian inertia is so great that leaders of the EU countries cannot stop it."

“We hope that this extension will take place for the last, as a last resort, penultimate time,” RIA Novosti quoted Molokhov as saying.

He added that the meeting in the "Norman format clearly showed who favors a peaceful settlement of all conflicts in Europe, and who" plays the fool ".

Earlier, the head of the European Council, Charles Michel, said that sanctions against Russia were extended by the European Union for six months.
