KYIV/BRUSSELS (Reuters) - European Union foreign ministers have not so far shown appetite for a new round of economic sanctions on Russia, Ukraine's Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said on Tuesday after he called for such steps at a meeting with his EU counterparts on Monday.

"Sectoral sanctions are a matter of time and Russia's behaviour. From my recent interactions with German and French foreign ministers, I can conclude that they understand this reality," Kuleba told an online news conference with international media.
