French President Emmanuel Macron has said Russian aggression “knows no borders” and is a direct threat to Europe as European Union leaders prepare to hold emergency talks in Brussels in the wake of the Trump administration’s stance on transatlantic ties.

“Who can believe that this Russia of today will stop at Ukraine?” Macron said in a televised address late on Wednesday.
