"I think that sanctions must stop now," said French President Francois Hollande in an interview yesterday outlining that Western nations should instead offer to ease off on existing restrictions in exchange for progress in the peace process.
German Vice Chancellor Sigmar Gabriel also signaled concerns about the effect of sanctions on Russia’s stability stating that the goal was never to push Russia into chaos.
