Talks on easing sanctions against Russia imposed over the conflict in Ukraine could begin in the next few weeks, but more measures are possible if there is no progress over a ceasefire deal, the U.S. Deputy National Security Adviser said on Friday.
The European Union and the United States have imposed economic sanctions on Russia, with the West accusing Moscow of providing pro-Russian separatists in eastern Ukraine with troops and weapons. Russia denies the accusation.
Last month, envoys from Ukraine, Russia, and the separatists negotiated a ceasefire in Minsk, and U.S. adviser Tony Blinken said sanctions could start to be removed if conditions agreed were put into practice.
"Our hope over the next weeks is that we begin to implement that agreement in a meaningful way on the Russian side. And if that happens we can actually begin to talk about rolling back the sanctions," Blinken told reporters at a briefing in London.

~So why don’t Putin make a regime change in Iran or somethin If he’s so jealous about it ? ~
You probably missed my whole idea, Grzech. Think for the answer by yourself, especially in context of so-called ‘russian Imperialism’. Maybe it is a thing of the past?
I'm afraid, I did. So what's the logic behind it ? Russia invades and annex parts of her neighbors because Americans removed Saddam and Taliban ?
How is it any related? And if only Taliban was really removed.
It isn't. I thought your point is “but America invaded Iraq & Afghanistan” as that usually comes out from Russians when their aggression is criticized. So what's your point ?
