Theresa May will today warn that Russia is attempting to tear Europe apart as she labels the country a “hostile state”

The Prime Minister will tell the Eastern Partnership Summit in Brussels that European countries must be “open-eyed” to the threat from Russia. “From agriculture in Ukraine to the tech sector in Belarus – there is a huge amount of potential in the Eastern neighbourhood that we should nurture and develop,” she will say.

“But we must also be open-eyed to the actions of hostile states like Russia which threaten this potential and attempt to tear our collective strength apart.

May will use insist that Britain remains committed to working together with other European countries, despite its decision to leave the European Union. “This summit highlights the crucial importance of the European countries working together to protect our shared values and ideals,” she will say, as reported by Business Insider.

“The UK may be leaving the EU but we are not leaving Europe, and we are unconditionally committed to maintaining Europe’s security.”
