BRUSSELS (Reuters) - The G7 summit in Germany starting on Sunday will discuss extending European Union sanctions on Russia, probably for six months, a senior EU official said on Friday.
"I consider it to be a technical issue. The political will of rolling over sanctions will be discussed. I don’t want to speculate about it. The extension should be six months and then we come back and see where we are. But it is not a decision for the G7, the G7 will not compare notes on the duration," the official said, briefing reporters on condition of anonymity.
