Borrell did not rule out the introduction of sanctions against Russia

“We will discuss these issues with my colleagues, the EU Foreign Ministers.

As usual, states have to decide on the way forward, and yes, they can include sanctions, ”he wrote on his blog.

Borrell noted that the European Union has another tool - the recently approved sanctions regime in the field of human rights.

Earlier, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that possible sanctions against Russia are an internal matter of the European Union, the Russian side is building its life based on the fact that the EU is an unreliable partner.
