The high representative of the EU for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Josep Borrell, on Friday announced via his twitter account: “Ongoing escalation around needs to stop urgently” in Idlib, Syria.
He also warned that: “There is a risk of sliding into a major open international military confrontation.”
The EU official pointed out that this is also: “Causing unbearable humanitarian suffering and putting civilians in danger.”
