> Russia will not sign contracts or agreements with the EU on matters affecting national security, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said. He blamed Europe for severing relations and said Moscow would consider any future European proposal on its merits, ruling out a return to the close ties seen after the Soviet Union’s collapse and in the 1990s.
