European Union leaders are to discuss next week a series of steps they could take against class="mandelbrot_refrag">Russia if there are disruptions to Ukraine's presidential election on Sunday.

The measures, including restrictions ranging from luxury goods imports to an oil and gas ban, envisage three scenarios - low-intensity, medium-intensity and high-intensity sanctions.

"I sincerely believe that it will not come to the adoption of these measures," Ulyukayev told journalists on the sidelines of the St Petersburg International Economic Forum. (Reporting by Darya Korsunskaya; Writing by Lidia Kelly)
