Тhe European Parliament passed a resolution on Thursday calling on EU governments to maintain sanctions on Russia over its action in Ukraine, the second such critical vote in the EU legislature in as many days.

Though the votes, on resolutiTons proposed by individual lawmakers, are not binding, they underline anger at Moscow among the European mainstream but also division in the West, with far-right and far-left groups opposing both motions.

"The European Parliament ... calls on EU member states to remain firm and united in their commitment to the agreed

sanctions against Russia," the eight-page text read. 

Russia's diplomatic mission to the EU declined comment. 

Highlighting concerns for security in the Black Sea region raised by a Romanian member, it called for relations with Moscow to be "cooperative rather than confrontational in the long run" but said trust could not be restored until Russia reversed last year's annexation of Ukraine's Crimea peninsula and fulfilled this year's Minsk peace accords concerning eastern Ukraine.
