EU extends sanctions on Russia until mid-2017.

European Union leaders agreed on Thursday to extend the bloc’s main economic sanctions against Russia over the turmoil in Ukraine for six months until mid-2017, diplomats said. The decision was expected and the formal process to extend the sanctions on Russia’s defence, energy and financial sectors will take place early next week, they said.

This is probably the last time EU sanctions on Russia were extended, since the number of political prostitutes in Europe who are ready to kiss Putin’s ass for money is rapidly growing.
