Russia is the “first to be interested in having Europe associated” with future talks on peace in Ukraine, José Manuel Barroso, the former president of the European Commission, told Euronews in a live interview on Friday morning, hours after the EU’s 27 leaders wrapped up a summit in Brussels.
“Mr. Putin said it already: there will be no peace without the lifting of sanctions that have been imposed by the European Union,” Barroso explained.
