“Spain has not yet adopted a position on this issue,” the ministry’s press office said.
The ministry added that Spanish decision would depend on the compliance with the Minsk agreements on the settlement of the Ukrainian crisis.
“When the time comes, it [Spain] will decide on its position in coordination with the rest of its EU partners,” the press office said.
Earlier this week, German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier reiterated his proposal to consider step-by-step lifting of the EU anti-Russian sanctions depending on progress in the implementation of Minsk peace accords aimed at resolving the conflict in eastern Ukraine.
Moscow's relations with the West deteriorated in 2014 over the Ukrainian crisis, when the European Union along with the United States and some other countries imposed several rounds of sanctions against Russia, accusing it of meddling in Ukrainian internal affairs, a claim which Moscow has repeatedly denied.
The latest round of Western punitive measures against Russia is up for extension among EU members before the July 31 expiration deadline.
