EU urges Greece's Tsipras to back common line on Russia

BRUSSELS (Reuters) - European Council President Donald Tusk urged Greece's new Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras on Wednesday to support common EU foreign policy approaches, a week after Athens questioned a call for new sanctions on Russia.

"We agreed on the importance of unity within the European Union with regard to other key challenges facing Europe," Tusk said in a statement following their meeting in Brussels, which coincided with indecisive talks on sanctions among EU diplomats.
