MOSCOW - Moscow does not see any tangible steps on the EU part toward lifting the anti-Russian sanctions, Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev said.

“We made the decision on restrictive measures in response to the sanctions imposed by the EU and some other states nearly two years ago. There are still no improvements so far in this aspect of our relations,” Medvedev said at a government meeting on June 30.
