Germany Asks Ukraine to Forgo Sanctions That Threaten Gas Transit to Europe | News | The Moscow Times:



"Germany on Monday demanded that Ukraine forgo its plans to disrupt the transit of Russian natural gas to Europe as part of its proposed sanctions against Moscow. 




German government spokesman Steffen Saibert was quoted by ITAR-Tass as saying "the federal government believes that Ukraine will not carry on with the measure Prime Minister [Arseniy] Yatsenyuk announced on Friday." 




Yatsenyuk on Friday said Kiev was ready to impose a wide array of sanctions on Russia for "sponsoring terrorism, supporting the annexation of Crimea, and violating the territorial integrity of Ukraine," including putting restrictions on air flights and gas supplies to Europe."
