EU Foreign Policy Chief: Russia's Military Action In Syria Is A 'Game-Changer'

Voice of America: EU: Russian Action in Syria a 'Game-changer'

European Union foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini said Monday that Russia's military action in Syria is a "game-changer" that has "some very worrying elements."

Mogherini told reporters ahead of a meeting of EU foreign ministers in Luxembourg that actions taken against Islamic State militants have to clearly be carried out against the group and other terrorists defined by the United Nations.

Russia has faced Western criticism that its air campaign in Syria is targeting opponents of President Bashar al-Assad, a Russian ally, and not the Islamic State group.

WNU Editor: European Union foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini is correct .... but fellow EU ministers are still sticking to their position that Russia must end their airstrikes.
