Sanctions against Russia should remain in force until territorial integrity of Ukraine restored - Foreign Ministry representative

This has been said by Mariana Betsa, spokesperson for the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry, on Twitter.

"Sanctions imposed due to the aggression of the Russian Federation should remain in force until full restoration of Ukraine's territorial integrity within its internationally recognized borders," she wrote, commenting on the statement made by re-elected president of PACE Pedro Agramunt, who said that it would be necessary to lift sanctions against the Russian delegation to PACE.

As reported, the Russian delegation will not participate in PACE session in 2017.
