EU foreign policy chief, Federica Mogherini, after informal meeting of the European Union’s foreign ministers in the Latvian capital of Riga stated that the European Union will not be pulled into a confrontation, reports sputniknews.com.
"The European Union today is extremely realistic about the developments in Russia, but we’ll never be trapped, or forced, or pushed, or pulled into a confrontative attitude. We still believe that … not only in our continent, but around our continent cooperation is far better than confrontation," Mogherini told the reporters.
According to Mogherini, the EU had never sought and would never seek confrontation with Moscow. She contended that, on the contrary, they must engage with average Russians, especially youth.
