Sikorski: Ukraine should regain its integrity

“Ukraine’s integrity must be restored,” Polish Foreign Affairs Minister Radosław Sikorski said on Monday. He also said that sanctions on Russia should be extended after the shooting down of a Malaysian airliner in eastern Ukraine. Sikorski and Defense Minister Tomasz Siemoniak met their counterparts from the UK, Philip Hammond and Michael Fallon in Warsaw on Monday. They discussed a number of issues that are also be on the agenda of the upcoming EU ambassadors meeting. “We believe that sanctions should be imposed as the responsibility for this tragedy is held by those people – the Russian Federation – who supplied and continue to supply advanced weaponry to so-called ‘separatists’,” the Polish foreign minister said at a press conference after the talks. “It is Russia who is responsible for the crash of the Malaysian plane in Ukraine,” Sikorski stressed.
