By EUobserver
Speaking in an interview with Russian state television on Monday, Russian foreign affairs minister Sergei Lavrov said Moscow would not halt its invasion of Ukraine the next time the two sides convene. He also said that calls by the EU's top diplomat, Josep Borrell, for the bloc to continue arming Kyiv marked a "very serious U-turn" in European policy.
