(12.Oktober) EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini called Russia‘s military intervention in Syria an unwelcome „game-changer“ that jeopardised peace efforts and risked clashes with western aircraft targeting Islamic State jihadists.

„The recent Russian military attacks that go beyond Daesh (IS) and other UN-designated terrorist groups, as well as on the moderate opposition, are of deep concern and must cease immediately,“ the EU‘s 28 foreign ministers said in a statement.
