EU's foreign affairs head Federica Mogherini said that the EU is not considering imposing new sanctions against Russia in connection with its position on Syria. She also added that further measures against its ally Damascus are possible, Daily Mail reported.

“This has not been proposed by any member state,” Mogherini said as she arrived for a meeting of EU foreign ministers dominated by the Syrian crisis when asked about steps against Moscow.

“But we have sanctions on the Syrian regime... and there are discussions on that, for sure, (expanding) that could be possible,” the former Italian foreign minister added.
