To show its determination not to let Kiev down and above all to send a strong signal to Vladimir Putin, the European Union wants to speak with one voice on Ukraine.
The emergency European summit to be held this Thursday in Brussels will have to show that “we are united” and that “the European family is coming together”, therefore estimated the Elysée on Wednesday.
During this summit, in which Emmanuel Macron will participate, the 27 intend to prepare the sanctions according to the actions of Russia in Ukraine.
Discussions will also focus on the economic and migration consequences of the crisis.
Betting vigilant on other possible attacks
“There is a risk that President Putin decides that he is testing Westerners in their environment: the Balkans, Bosnia, Transnistria, the Caucasus.
We want each of these countries to be aware that there are choices to be made, that the partnership with the EU requires some form of clarity,” commented the French presidency.
As for the possibility of Russian attacks against other countries, Paris sees "no identified risks" but says it is still "very vigilant" in view of "the behavior of Vladimir Putin and the mistreatment applied to Ukraine. ".
