BRATISLAVA (Reuters) - Ukraine is doing less than Russia to meet its obligations under the Minsk agreement, Slovakia's Prime Minister Robert Fico said on Saturday, stepping up calls for the European Union to end sanctions against Moscow.

Fico said sanctions have been ineffective while harming European Union and member Slovakia's economic interests. But added he would respect EU solidarity on the issue.
