BRUSSELS, June 18 (Reuters) - European Union leaders agreed on Thursday to renew sanctions against Russia over its war against Ukraine for another 12 months, a spokesperson for the chair of the meeting said.
Thursday's decision at a summit in Brussels marked the first time such sanctions - which target certain sectors of the Russian economy - have been renewed for a year. They had previously been rolled over every six months.
