EU leaders send a clear message to Russia

EU leaders sent a clear message to Russia to step back from the brink of war in Ukraine when they unanimously agreed to make Poland’s prime minister their chief.

Donald Tusk, who has fought against Russian dominance since his student days in Gdansk, has been pushing the prime ministers of the EU to take a tough stance against president Vladimir Putin.

Ukraine’s president, Petro Poroshenko, told a special summit in Brussels at the weekend, that they were now very close to the point of no return.
