The EU won’t change its policy towards Russia, even if the US does it, EU foreign affairs chief Federica Mogherini said after an emergency meeting of Foreign Ministers, which was held to discuss the results of the US presidential elections.

The EU has "a very principled position on the annexation of Crimea and the situation in Ukraine. This is not going to change regardless of possible shifts in others’ policies," she said adding that the EU continues an effective dialogue with Russia on a number of international issues, for example on "the Iranian nuclear deal, the Middle East Peace Process, Libya, counter-terrorism,"
