Until the illegal annexation of Crimea, the European Union had labelled Russia its “strategic partner”. But in the new EU Global Strategy on Foreign and Security Policy, which is expected to be unveiled at the end of June, the bloc will label Russia its “strategic challenge”, a diplomat said yesterday (30 May).
More than a decade after the 2003 European Security Strategy prepared by Javier Solana, EU leaders tasked foreign affairs chief Mogherini to prepare a new EU Global Strategy to guide the Union’s global actions in the future. The Strategy will be presented by Mogherini to EU leaders at the 28-29 June summit, days after the 23 June referendum of Europe in the UK.
