the European Union’s warning against Russia

Thousands of Russian soldiers are massed on the Ukrainian border. The fear of an invasion, like that of Crimea in 2014, does exist. A European summit took place in Brussels (Belgium), Thursday, December 16. “The Europeans are not talking about sanctions, but about countermeasures. Money for the defense of Ukraine, and to fight against cyber attacks by Russian hackers, but also the strengthening of the rule of law in Kiev”, developed Pascal Verdeau, correspondent in Brussels.

Europeans have “awareness that we must avoid disunity vis-à-vis Moscow. With two watchwords: de-escalation and firmness. They understood that Russia was seeking to restore its status as a great power vis-à-vis the United States “, continues the journalist. “The Europeans have decided to hide their game with a past message: beware, if you touch Ukraine there will be massive consequences. Uncertainty is part of the game.”
