The High Representative issues a statement acknowledging that certain non-EU countries are going to align their sanctions regimes with the EU's – in this case, it's the 2 Ukraine-related CFSP (Common Foreign and Security Policy) decisions – 2014/145/CFSP and 2014/151/CFSP. Here's the text of one of them:
