WARSAW (Reuters) - German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble said on Wednesday that sanctions on Russia are the right course of action for the moment and that relations with Moscow cannot return to normal until it improves its human rights record.

"There is no return to normal relations if Russia behaves contrary to human rights rules," Schaeuble said at a conference in Warsaw.
