EU sanctions against Russia to harm European companies, violate WTO regulations - Putin's aide
Sanctions against certain sectors of the Russian economy reportedly being discussed by EU countries would harm European companies operating in Russia and would violate WTO regulations, says Russian presidential aide, Andrei Belousov. ● "You know, it's hard for me to decide for the EU but I do hope that these two factors will be taken into consideration in making a final decision," Belousov told journalists in commenting on the possibility of such sanctions on the sidelines of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF) on Saturday.
