German FM: nobody ‘blindly set’ on imposing more sanctions on MoscowJanuary 26, 2015 - 16:35 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier said on Monday, Jan 26, nobody was blindly set on imposing further sanctions on Moscow over its stance in eastern Ukraine, ahead of a meeting of European foreign ministers in Brussels on Thursday, according to Reuters.
