Europe must prepare for security threats, requiring tough decisions, said French Foreign Minister at Munich Security Conference. US stance on Ukraine remains undecided.
MUNICH (Reuters) - Europe will need to make tough choices and sacrifices in order to deal with the threats facing it and to ensure its security, said French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot on Saturday at the Munich Security Conference.
"We need to prepare. We will have to face difficult days, make complicated decisions and even sacrifices which we weren't expecting until now to ensure this security," said Barrot, speaking to reporters at the event.
Barrot also said he thought that, after he had held talks with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, that the U.S. administration was still forming its opinion over how the U.S should handle the Ukraine crisis.
