BRUSSELS, Sept 5 (Reuters) - European Union ambassadors agreed stronger sanctions against Russia on Friday over its involvement in the war in Ukraine and the measures are to be implemented on Monday, diplomats said.

However, the sanctions could be suspended if a ceasefire between Kiev and pro-Russia rebels, agreed earlier on Friday, would hold and if Moscow withdraws its troops from Ukraine, diplomats said. (Reporting by Brussels newsroom)
