New Greek foreign minister to attend EU summit on Thursday
Newly appointed Foreign Minister Nikos Kotzias will visit Brussels on Thursday to participate in the EU's extraordinary council of foreign affairs to discuss the deterioration of the security situation in eastern Ukraine.

The foreign ministers are likely to ask the EU's executive Commission on Thursday to prepare new sanctions against Russia, but the final decision on whether to implement them would be taken by EU leaders at their summit on Feb. 12, EU officials and diplomats said.
