“We talked about relations between Russia and the EU.
Their current state can’t be called normal, you should try to get rid of excessive politicization and restore the constructive atmosphere of our cooperation”, – he said after talks with Prime Minister of Italy Paolo Gentiloni.
The Russian leader called for strengthening economic cooperation with European countries and establishment of direct ties between the Eurasian economic Union and the EU, he said, could “contribute to building trust on all space of Eurasia”.
Previously, Gentiloni said that Italy would not violate the unity of the European Union, in particular on the question of extending sanctions against Russia.
Recall that in 2014, against Russia started to be applied international sanctions. This political and economic measures aimed at cessation of Russian aggression against Ukraine. Apart from the EU and US sanctions were imposed by Canada, Japan, Norway, Switzerland, Australia, New Zealand, in General, 41 countries, the actual Ukraine and the parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe and, informally, China.
The purpose of sanctions is to stop funding, arming and supply of Russian terrorists and military to the East Ukraine. The first restrictions were introduced in connection with the annexation of Crimea.
