EU: Russia’s Full Withdrawal from Ukraine Key to Amending Sanctions

The European Union (EU) has stated that Russia must unconditionally withdraw from Ukraine before any discussion on amending sanctions can take place. The EU remains firm on its stance, emphasizing that sanctions will stay as long as Russian forces occupy Ukrainian territory. This position aligns with ongoing Western pressure to hold Russia accountable for its invasion. The announcement follows renewed diplomatic efforts to resolve the conflict, but the EU insists that easing restrictions depends on Russia’s full military withdrawal.
