Greece demanded Sunday that the EU cancel sanctions against Russia: “Thousands of small- and middle-sized Greek farms producing fruit and vegetables and selling them primarily to the Russian market have been hit hard now as their unsold products are now rotting at warehouses”. Heinz-Christian Strache, the Chairman of the Freedom Party of Austria: “In just a few days after the Russian sanctions came into force they hurt out agriculture. The EU is thinking on how to mitigate it. Instead of putting Russia on its knees, they drag our farmers to ruin with their senseless sanctions policy.” He lashed out at Kiev regime for considering a ban on the transit of Russian gas into Europe to hurt Russia, calling such statements “an affront to their own allies” and “a mockery of the EU,” which is asked to save Ukraine from bankruptcy. Gregor Gysi, a German parliament member, criticized on Sunday Chancellor Angela Merkel for supporting the sanctions policy, which he called “childish.” “Obama talks about economic sanctions all the time, but the response hits us, not the US.”
