BUENOS AIRES (Reuters) - The European Union will extend its existing economic sanctions on Russia next month, a top official with the bloc said on Friday after Moscow's action against Ukraine's navy in the Sea of Azov.

European Council President Donald Tusk will chair a summit of EU leaders on Dec. 13-14, which is due to roll over for another year the bloc's measures against Russia's defence, energy and banking sectors, punishment for Moscow's role in the turmoil in Ukraine.
