The new Greek government have refused to support the call from the EU to tighten sanctions against Russia.
According to the Financial Times newspaper, a spokesman for the new Greek government formed on the basis of left-wing coalition SYRIZA and right-wing Conservative Party "Anel" ("Independent Greeks"), stated that the authorities did not approve a formal declaration of the EU leaders with accusations against Russia and threats to tighten sanctions.
The communiqué published by the head of the EU informs that the foreign ministers at a regular meeting in Brussels consider the possibility of new sanctions against Russia in connection with the firing at Mariupol.
