EU countries on Monday will likely decide to extend their existing sanctions against Russia, EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said.

“I expect a decision to rollover the sanctions we have,” Kallas said before a meeting with EU foreign policy ministers in Brussels.

Earlier this month, Hungary had said it had not yet decided whether to support the rollover of sanctions due at the end of January.
