Mutual interest seen keeping Germany's E.ON safe from Russian sanctions

FRANKFURT (Reuters) - The Russian interests of E.ON, Germany's biggest energy group, are unlikely to be damaged by economic and trade sanctions against Russia because there is too much at stake on both sides, analysts and shareholders said on Friday.

With the East-West confrontation over Crimea showing no signs of abating, the European Commission has been tasked to prepare for more possible sanctions that could impact the energy sector.
