The EU’s foreign policy chief, Josep Borrell, has admitted that not every member state sees Russia as Europe’s “most existential threat.”

He argued that disputes between members are preventing the bloc from taking a unified stance on Moscow, and are holding back military aid to Ukraine.

Speaking at Oxford University in the UK on Friday, Borrell says that he sees “more confrontation and less cooperation” in world affairs, and brought up instances of dissent among EU members when it comes to Russian President Vladimir Putin and the conflict in Ukraine.
