MOSCOW, July 14 - The leaders of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic (DPR) say they see no problems in the expansion of the EU sanction list.

DPR First Deputy Prime Minister Andriy Purhin told Interfax that the inclusion of these people on the EU sanction list would not affect their work.

"If we talk about our leadership, about our prime minister, he doesn't have [bank] accounts or real estate in Europe, and these sanctions won't harm him in any way," Purhin said.
