Europe shouldn’t trust Vladimir Putin and concrete measures are needed against Russian aggression, Ukraine President Petro Poroshenko said in interview with daily newspaper Corriere della Sera,

“Ukraine is under military threat, our independence is in danger and with it European security," Poroshenko said, also suggesting a list of measures to adopt. They could include blocking the Nord Stream 2 project, increasing NATO presence in the Black Sea, banning Russian ships from European ports and political, economic and military support to Ukraine.
