Scholz told under what conditions sanctions can be lifted from Russia

To lift Western sanctions against Russia, it needs to end the war and come to an understanding with Ukraine. It is reported by CNN .

Sanctions will not just disappear when the guns fall silent. Russia must come to an understanding with Ukraine, he said speaking at a joint press conference with Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić.

It is known that Ukraine sent to the European Union its proposals for the seventh sanctions package against the Russian Federation. We are talking about new sectoral sanctions in the field of energy, finance and trade. A roadmap for new personal sanctions against Russian oligarchs, high-ranking officials and heads of state-owned enterprises has also been sent to the EU. Finally, Ukraine offered to close the already discovered loopholes for evading sanctions.

Also in Ukraine, they note that an important task is the transfer of arrested Russian assets for the benefit of Ukraine, which will require "political will" on the part of Ukraine's partner countries.

Recall that from June 15, the UK introduces a stricter mechanism for holding accountable for violating sanctions against Russia. The new rules relate to cooperation with individuals and legal entities from the Russian Federation, in respect of which economic restrictions have been introduced.
