“The ministers reaffirmed five principles on which our relations with Russia should be built.
We understand that Russia has embarked on a course of confrontation with the European Union, ”he said.
The diplomat's words are quoted by TASS.
The principles that Borrell spoke about include adhering to the Minsk agreements on the situation in eastern Ukraine, establishing close contacts between the EU and the CIS countries, and opposing Russia even if it cooperates with it on some issues.
As previously reported by Bloomberg, citing a source, the EU Ambassador to Russia Markus Ederer proposed to develop a new plan for further actions in relations with Moscow.
