(11 Mar 2014) Germany's foreign minister warned on Tuesday that Europe must be prepared to take action if Russia refuses to change its position on Crimea by this weekend.
Frank-Walter Steinmeier said he didn�t want any confrontation but added that Russia's "behaviour provokes a preparation for it."
He hinted that sanctions could be discussed at the European Foreign Ministers meeting next week.
Steinmeier spoke to reporters after a meeting with Estonian Foreign Minister Urmas Paet in Estonia, at the start of a tour of three Baltic and former Soviet countries: Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania.
Paet made clear that Russia's position threatened the whole of Europe, as well as Russia's Baltic neighbours.
