BRUSSELS, September 12. /ITAR-TASS/.  The European Union may fully or partially lift the sanctions against Russia depending on the situation in Ukraine’s eastern regions, the European Commission’s press service said on Friday.

“The EU's measures are scalable and reversible: in light of the review and if the situation on the ground so warrants, the Commission and the EEAS will put forward proposals to amend, suspend or repeal the set of sanctions in force, in all or in part.”

The EU may analyse possible suspension or lifting of the anti-Russian sanctions in late September.
