EU to discuss lifting sanctions against Russia in October -- diplomatic source

``The European Union may begin discussions on lifting sanctions against Russia in October, and lifting the first block of sanctions is not probable before November, a European diplomatic source told ITAR-TASS on Friday. The source said the de-sanctions' process may be organized only on the step-by-step basis depending on development of the situation in Ukraine.'' -- You mean, the EU can stop slitting its own wrists and save face by acknowledging the fact that Russia has been playing a diplomatic hand in Ukraine?
