February 22, Fineko/abc.az. The first EU sanctions against Russia will be adopted today, but this will not be the entire EU response to the recognition of the separatist "DNR" and "LNR".

ABC.AZ reports with reference to the foreign media that the statement was made by EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs & Security Policy Josep Borrel.

He did not disclose the next steps to be taken against Russia.

Despite the fact that Barrel does not consider the deployment of Russian troops in the Donbass a full-scale invasion, he regarded the entry of Russian troops into Ukrainian lands as a violation of international norms.

French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian said that the EU foreign ministers will hold a meeting on sanctions in the afternoon.
