German Chancellor Angela Merkel said that sanctions on Russia will stay in place so long as it fails to comply with international demands aimed at halting the conflict in eastern Ukraine.
The international community “can’t just let” Russia’s seizure of the Ukrainian peninsula of Crimea pass, she said, describing the annexation in March last year as an act that breached the principles of the post-World War II European order.
