Merkel: All options, including more sanctions, are on table
Commenting on what she referred to as the catastrophic humanitarian situation in Syria, Merkel stated, according to Reuters:"Given this situation, I believe no option, including that of sanctions, can be taken off the table. But the priority must first be to relieve the pain of the people. That will be an issue tomorrow. There again, no wonders are to be expected."
Merkel said she and French President Francois Hollande would discuss Syria with Putin after they meet Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko in Berlin to discuss the implementation of the Minsk peace plan to end the conflict in eastern Ukraine, Reuters has reported.
