theguardian.com EU calls on Russia to halt airstrikes in Syria Ian Black   The EU has urged Russia to halt its military intervention in Syria , warning that it risks prolonging the four-and-a-half-year conflict and undermining a political process to end it – despite profound disagreement on how to achieve that. EU foreign ministers meeting in Luxembourg on Monday said the Russian attacks were of “deep concern and must cease immediately”. Federica Mogherini, the union’s foreign policy chief, called the Russian intervention a “gamechanger” that has “some very worrying elements”. For the first time, ministers also called for the protection of civilians to be an international priority. President Bashar al-Assad bore the greatest responsibility for the 250,000 dead, they said, linking “the systematic targeting of civilians by the regime” to “mass displacements and recruitment to and the flourishing of terrorist groups in Syria”.
