MOSCOW, March 10. /TASS/.

"It is hard for us to guess what Jean-Claude Juncker meant this time," he added. On March 8, Juncker called for the creation of an EU army, saying that "Europe's image has suffered dramatically and also in terms of foreign policy, we don't seem to be taken entirely seriously."
