 Austria’s For/Minister - Time for E.U. to identify common ground with Russia.

“I believe that we should gradually come to a modus in which for every implementation of the Minsk Protocol, for every single step, sanctions will gradually be lifted in return,” Sebastian Kurz said in a discussion at ORF TV.

It would be a very strong signal of accommodation towards Russia, if such a modus could be agreed on in the medium term.

“I hope that this would be received appropriately.”

The European Union is due next week to extend its economic sanctions on Russia over the conflict in Ukraine for six months as it has linked sanctions relief to the full implementation of a peace plan for eastern Ukraine, which has been all but stalled for months.

Russia continues to make threatening moves against its neighbors and have shown no signs of wanting improved relations

And you believe so because?...Aside from Ukraine what threatening moves has Russia made against what European countries?...Seems to me Nato is the aggressor her just by their continual expansion as well as military operations and base locations surrounding Russia.

France, Bulgaria, Austria and other nation leaders are opposing the sanctions on Russia and in fact IN leaders are undeniably saying Russia must be seen as a significant player on the World stage and moves closer with Russia forthcoming.
