Sanctions against Russia to be prolonged until Minsk agreements implemented – President

President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko said this in an interview with Ukrainian TV channels, an Ukrinform correspondent reported.

"The new U.S. Administration takes a historic decision – the sanctions will be extended until the Minsk agreements are implemented," Petro Poroshenko said.

The President stressed that the U.S. and the EU had a unified position on sanctions against the Russian Federation, noting that the U.S. Congress supported the sanctions.

In addition, according to Poroshenko, the U.S. should play a coordinating role with regard to sanctions against Russia within the framework of the G7.
