Russia sanctions to be confirmed later today - Donohoe
The Minister for Finance has said the Government and the European Union expect to confirm later today what sanctions will be imposed on Russia following its decision to send troops into two separatist areas of eastern Ukraine.
Speaking on RTÉ's Morning Ireland, Paschal Donohoe said he is concerned about the future of democracy, security in Europe and the ability of independent governments to make their own decisions.
He said is also concerned about any possible effect that war in Ukraine would have on the growth and economic performances of Ireland and the European Union.
However, Mr Donohoe said he did not intend to introduce any additional supports to deal with possible further increased energy costs.
