Al Jazeera  

EU’s top diplomat promises ‘massive consequences and severe costs’ for Russia if it launches a military offensive against its neighbour. The European Union’s top diplomat has visited the front line of Ukraine’s war with Moscow-backed forces, promising “massive consequences and severe costs” for Russia if it launched a new military offensive against its neighbour. The EU has a firm stance and a strong commitment “that any military aggression against Ukraine will have massive consequences and severe costs”, he added. “It’s an unusual point with people perhaps not familiar with the intense diplomacy involved because Vladimir Putin has instrumentally avoided having any dialogue with the EU,” Borrell said.
