Polish Deputy Prime Minister Jaroslaw Kaczynski has accused Germany and France of being in close relations with Russia.

"For years, the German government has not wanted to notice what Russia is doing under Putin, and today we are seeing the result," he was quoted as saying in an interview with the German newspaper Welt.

Turkey was close to crossing "the red line" in its relations with Greece when, last Friday, a Turkish ship fired shots near a Greek island in the Aegean Sea, stated in an TV interview Greek Foreign Minister Nikos Kodzias calling on Ankara to "rethink again these games".
