EU to extend Russia sanctions for another six months - Merkel
BERLIN (Reuters) - European Union leaders agreed to extend for a further six months sanctions that have been in place against Russia since its annexation of Crimea from Ukraine in 2014, German Chancellor Angela Merkel said on Friday.
Speaking after a video conference of European Union leaders, she also said Germany reserved the right to react after prosecutors this week accused Russia of ordering the killing last year of a Georgian citizen who was shot last year in broad daylight in a central Berlin park.
