Russia’s actions, in particular the illegal annexation of Crimea, its role in fuelling the conflict in eastern Ukraine as well as its actions in the Georgian break-away regions of South Ossetia and Abkhazia, in the Transnistrian region and in its support to the Lukashenko regime, have led to a severe deterioration of the security situation in Europe, EU High Representative Josep Borrell has stated.

“Russia has made public two draft treaties affecting the European security architecture. They are addressed to the United States and to the members of the Atlantic Alliance respectively,” he said. 

Borrell says that the EU is ‘fully committed’ to security in Europe based on the key principles of non-aggression and respect for national sovereignty and for territorial integrity. 

“Today, Europe’s security is under threat,” he said.  Borrell says that together with partners and allies, the EU has ‘clearly indicated that it will ‘respond resolutely’ to any further violations of Ukraine’s sovereignty. 

“At the same time, the EU believes that dialogue, negotiation and cooperation  are the only means to overcome disputes and bring peace.’
