The President specified that if such a document is received, he will try to talk to the U.S. and Russia in order to resolve the problem.

Meanwhile, a high-ranking source in Brussels told reporters that the foreign ministers of the European Union (EU) may approve the 15th package of anti-Russian sanctions on Monday, December 16.
