EU to discuss Russia sanctions, Ukraine support next week: Mogherini


    BERLIN (Reuters) - The European Union's new foreign affairs chief Federica Mogherini said in Berlin on Tuesday that foreign ministers from the bloc would discuss whether to increase sanctions on Russia, and how to help Ukraine, when they meet in Brussels next week.

    "NEXT (NXT.LO)week we will have a ministerial meeting in Brussels on Monday and there will be a discussion there, but I would say not just on whether to increase the sanctions but most of all how to support Ukraine in these difficult times," she told reporters at a conference with German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier.
