Von der Leyen: sanctions deal not likely within next 48 hours
By EUobserver
EU Commission president Ursula von der Leyen said ahead of Monday's summit that outstanding issues on the sixth package of sanctions against Russia are unlikely to be agreed upon within the next 48 hours. "We are not there yet," she said, adding that discussions over the oil embargo via pipeline are still ongoing. "The key to success is solidarity with Ukraine and unity in the EU".
