The European Commission has refuted the reports spread by some media outlets alleging that the European Union was interested in lifting the sanctions against Russia, according to an UNIAN correspondent in Brussels citing Maja Kosjancic, a spokesperson for EU High Representative Federica Mogherini.
The spokesperson confirmed that European Commissioner Kristalina Georgieva, who was wrongfully reported as making such statement, indeed visited Moscow on Wednesday, and her actual comments to the press have been open to the public.

Our position is very clear and has not changed, and this was also stated very clearly yesterday," said Kosjancic.
