Withdrawal of Russia from Ukraine precondition to amend sanctions – EU

Published on March 26, 2025 at 05:42 PM

The European Commission said on Wednesday that the withdrawal of all Russian forces from Ukraine would be one of the main conditions to lift or amend EU sanctions.

European Union countries reportedly renewed the bloc's two sanctions frameworks on Russia for another six months at the end of January and earlier this month.

It was gathered that any changes to sanctions require unanimity among its 27 member states.

“The end of the Russian unprovoked and unjustified aggression in Ukraine and unconditional withdrawal of all Russian military forces from the entire territory of Ukraine would be one of the main preconditions to amend or lift sanctions,” a European Commission spokesperson said.

Recall that the United States reached separate deals on Tuesday with Ukraine and Russia to pause their attacks at sea and against energy targets, with Washington agreeing to push to lift some sanctions against Moscow.

Russia said on Tuesday the United States had agreed to help it lift a series of Western sanctions and restrictions on food, fertiliser and shipping companies as preconditions for a maritime security deal in the Black Sea.

Diplomats said most of the curbs listed by the Kremlin related to European Union sanctions and restrictions.
