Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence

Situation in Ukraine: Mrs. Olena Shaloput

10:00 am

Mrs. Olena Shaloput:

Deputy O'Sullivan's first question concerned the effectiveness of the sanctions. I have already stated that this is currently the only effective instrument to influence Russia and to force Russia to commit to its obligations within the Minsk agreement as well as under international law. We hope that during the EU summit in July the sanctions will be extended and that there will be substantial changes. We would greet the strengthening of these sanctions. The sanctions are the only way to keep Russia within its limits.

What was Deputy O'Sullivan's next question?
