Juncker: Going to Russia, talking with Putin "right thing"

According to the agency, Jucker said it was "common sense to talk to Moscow despite lingering tensions over the Ukraine crisis" and that he thought it was "the right thing to do."

Juncker also revealed he expected "frank" talks with President Vladimir Putin:

"We can have no illusions about the problems weighing on our relationship today. They exist. It would be pointless, even dangerous, to ignore them. We must tackle them urgently."

"Russia's actions have shaken the principles of European security," Juncker said.

According to the high ranking EU official, "sovereignty, sovereign equality, the non-use of force, and territorial integrity matter" - and, he said, these "cannot be ignored."
