KYIV (HRNW) – EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell arrived in Ukraine Tuesday in a show of support for Kyiv, as the West warns Russia against launching any attacks on its ex-Soviet neighbour.
The visit comes after months of tensions, with the West threatening Moscow with a massive coordinated sanctions response if it invades Ukraine.
“With Russia s increased military build-up, I am here to show EU support for Ukraine s sovereignty and territorial integrity,” Borrell said on Twitter.
The US and its allies have accused Russia of planning an invasion after massing some 100,000 troops near Ukraine s border.
High-ranking officials from the United States and Russia are set to hold two days of talks in Geneva on the crisis starting Sunday after the Kremlin issued a raft of demands to Washington.
