Any provocation or attack against Ukraine will have serious consequences, he continued, addressing Russia the Head of Diplomacy of the European Union, Josep Borrell, a few hours before his current contacts with Ukrainian officials.
«The European Union is Ukraine’s closest partner “We fully support its territorial integrity and national sovereignty,” the top European diplomat said in an interview with the Polish news agency PAP yesterday.
During his visit to Ukraine, Borrell will hold talks with Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba in Kiev and with officials in eastern Ukraine. According to the Athenian-Macedonian News Agency, the visit of the head of European diplomacy is part of the international efforts to de-escalate the crisis boiling on the Ukrainian border.
Washington and its European allies accuse Moscow of threatening Ukraine with a new invasion, after that in Crimea in 2014, and that moves the threads of the war between pro-Russian separatists and the Ukrainian army that broke out in Donbas that same year. Some 100,000 Russian troops have recently gathered on the eastern Ukrainian border.
On the other hand, for Moscow, Russia’s security goes beyond the ban on NATO enlargement to the east, which it perceives as an existential threat, and the end of Western military activities near the Russian border.
On Sunday, January 9, and Monday, January 10, Russia and the United States will hold talks on Ukraine in Geneva. The two sides are expected to continue talks on Wednesday, January 12, at the NATO-Russia Council, then on Thursday 13 January, in the framework of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE).
