We proposed to lift the sanctions against them,” Szijjártó said.

At the same time, he explained that these persons are representatives of business circles.

Sergei Tsekov, a member of the Federation Council Committee on International Affairs, told RT that the longer the sanctions saga lasts, the more difficult it becomes for the EU.
