Berlin/Moscow, Muharram 12, 1436, Nov 5, 2014, SPA -- The list of rebel leaders in eastern Ukraine targeted by EU sanctions should grow in the wake of the breakaway region's "illegitimate" elections at the weekend, German Chancellor Angela Merkel said Wednesday, according to dpa. "We should look again at the listing of certain people who now have responsibility in eastern Ukraine due to this illegitimate election, “she said in Berlin. Merkel added that she could not envision the European Union repealing the economic sanctions on Russia imposed over its role in the conflict. "We would like to repeal the sanctions, but I cannot see this given the current situation," she said. -- SPA 00:08 LOCAL TIME 21:08 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
