EU notions on Wednesday put off talks on wheather to roll over economic santoins against Russia, with Italayh wanting the bloc's leaders to make the call at a summit next week.

Ambassadors from the 28 member states had been expected at a meeting on Wednesday to sign off without any debate on a six-month extension of sanctions against Russia over the conflict in Ukraine.
But an EU diplomatic source told AFP that "the point was withdrawn from the agenda" and when the ambassadors meet again on Thursday they are expected to discuss other topics.
The sanctions issue is proving divisive at a time of Western efforts to enlist Moscow's help in resolving the Syrian conflict, with Rome saying approval should come from European Union leaders who meet in Brussels next Thursday and Friday.
