The European Union will take a political decision on extension of economic sanctions against Russia at its summit on June 28-29, TASS reported on Thursday, citing a source in the EU Council. The decision will be made at the summit in June, “followed by actual decision in several days,” the source said. The EU Council will formally approve the extension after the political decision is taken. Then it will be published and come into effect. “Recent discussions were short and I do not expect a long discussion this time,” the source added.
