Russia risks throwing away future prosperity if it invades Ukraine, EU chief Ursula von der Leyen warned Saturday, vowing a "robust package" of financial and economic sanctions against Moscow in case of any aggression.

EU chief Ursula von der Leyen accused Russia of making a "blatant attempt to rewrite the rules of the international order".
