Russia wants to weaken the EU, EU leaders say
None
BRUSSELS - Russia is trying to weaken the European Union, EU leaders agreed on Thursday, noting they needed to stay the course and remain united in policies towards Moscow.
"Leaders emphasized all sorts of Russian hostilities from airspace violations to information campaigns, cyber attacks, interference into the political processes in the EU and beyond," the chairman of the EU summit Donald Tusk told a news conference.
"Given these examples, it is clear that Russia's strategy is to weaken the EU," he said.
