Cameron - No easing of EU sanctions unless Putin changes behaviour


BRUSSELS (Reuters) - European Union sanctions on Russia over the Ukraine conflict should not be lifted unless President Vladimir Putin alters his behaviour, Prime Minister David Cameron said on Thursday.

Referring to the ceasefire deal for eastern Ukraine reached in Minsk overnight, Cameron said: "If this is a genuine ceasefire, then of course that would be welcome. But what matters most of all is actually actions on the ground rather just words on a piece of paper."
