BRUSSELS, Feb 12 – High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell assures that the European Union is unwavering in its support for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine and intends to continue to apply economic sanctions against Russia until the Minsk agreements are implemented.

"I reassure the Prime Minister [of Ukraine Denys Shmyhal] with European Union's unwavering support and commitment to Ukraine's independency, sovereignty and territorial integrity within its internationally recognized borders. This is a message that I also pass in my meeting last week to Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov including the need to fulfill and implement the Minsk Agreements," Borrell said following the meeting of the seventh EU-Ukraine Association Council, which took place on Thursday in Brussels.
