EU sends joint response of 27 members to Moscow

The European Union has sent a joint response of 27 members to Moscow relating to its demands on the region’s security framework.

Josep Borrell, the bloc’s foreign policy chief, responded on behalf of the 27 EU members.

The Russian embassy in the European Union issued a statement stating that they had already received the letter.

neither the content of the letters sent by Russia to Western countries and European structures nor response letters have been made public by either side, but diplomats say they address Russia's concerns over security on its western borders and the EU's efforts to resolve tensions diplomatically.
