The European Union is ready to discuss Russia‘s security concerns, the EU’s top diplomat Josep Borrell said on Tuesday, as tensions between Russia and Ukraine continue to heighten.

“In order to fulfil the concerns of everybody, the only way is speaking on the table and discussing,” Borrell told BBC Radio 4. “If there is a war between Russia and UkraineNordstream 2 would not become operational”, he added.

Russia has massed more than 100,000 troops around Ukrainian borders in recent months but denies plans to invade. It demands what it says are security guarantees from the West.
