Munich, 20 February 2022 (dpa/MIA) — EU Council President Charles Michel plans to immediately convene a special summit of European leaders in the event of a Russian attack against Ukraine, as is widely feared in the West. This would ensure a united decision on sanctions, Michel told the Munich Security Conference on Sunday. He said different scenarios had been prepared for this purpose over the past few weeks. On the threat posed by the massing of Russian troops near Ukraine's borders, Michel said: "They hoped to sow discord, weaken our alliance and divide us, but they have achieved exactly the opposite." He said cohesion has been cemented both within the EU and across the Atlantic. Russia continues to deny plans to attack its neighbor.
