The economic sanctions imposed against Russia should be extended, Polish President Bronislaw Komorowski said in an interview with the Polish newspaper Dziennik Gazeta Prawna.

MOSCOW (Sputnik) — The Polish president also stressed that the situation in Ukraine is likely to become frozen, but the country should still be moving "towards strengthening the pro-Western option."

"The restriction of it [the sanctions policy] is possible only in the event that Russian policy sees a shift for the better."

In 2014, the European Union, along with the Unites States and some other countries, imposed sanctions against Russia over its alleged involvement in the Ukrainian internal crisis. The sanctions targeted Russian defense, energy and banking resources.

Moscow has repeatedly denied allegations of any involvement in Ukraine's internal conflict, calling for inter-Ukrainian dialogue.

In March, EU leaders decided to keep sanctions in place until February ceasefire in Ukraine is fully implemented. The current economic sanctions against Russia are set to expire in July.
