Daily Mail: Francois Hollande suggests sanctions on Russia should be lifted and says Putin 'does not want to annex eastern Ukraine – he has told me that'

WNU Editor: France is not only facing billions in penalties for refusing to send to Russia two Mistral warships .... but it's agricultural sector has also been severely hit by sanctions. French President Francois Hollande is the first to come out to call for the end of sanctions .... I expect others to follow soon .... especially if progress is reached on ending the crisis in Ukraine.
