European Union will continue to explore the possibility of imposing sanctions against the Russian Federation in connection with the issuance of passports to residents of the occupied Donbas under a simplified procedure. This was stated to journalists by the EU High Representative for the Common Foreign and Security Policy Federica Mogherini, reports Radio Svoboda.

On the likelihood of imposing sanctions against the aggressor country, Mogherini dissected after the meeting of the Council of the European Union at the level of foreign ministers in Brussels. She added that this issue was discussed not only with representatives of the Eastern Partnership, but also at the beginning of the meeting of the EU Foreign Affairs Council.

Recall, on April 24, Russian President Volodymyr Putin signed a decree on simplifying the procedure for granting Russian citizenship to ORDLO residents.

Earlier, the “Journalist” reported that the passports of a citizen of the Russian Federation, issued to residents of the occupied Donbas, will be valid only in one area.
