RUSSIA

LAVROV:

  • WRONG TO 'CONFUSE THE EU WITH EUROPE'
  • RUSSIA WILL MAINTAIN TIES WITH EUROPEAN COUNTRIES
  • Lavrov finally corrects/clarifies his statement from Friday, after the Kremlin tempered his message on the same day and markets pared the initial sell-off back up to 74.50
  • Said on Friday: "Russia will break ties with the EU, if new sanctions are overly-harsh"
