The EU will not accept a "veto" by Russia on the bloc's ties with former Soviet republics, European Commission chief Manuel Barroso has said.
Speaking at a EU meeting in Vilnius, Mr Barroso said the era of "limited sovereignty was over in Europe".
The summit failed to revive an association agreement with Ukraine that was due to be its centrepiece.
Ukraine's president said he could not afford to sacrifice trade with Russia - which opposes the deal - for EU ties.
President Viktor Yanukovych froze plans to sign Ukraine's trade deal last week. In Vilnius, he defended his refusal to sign, saying the EU was not offering adequate financial aid.
After the two-day summit, Mr Barroso said: "We will not give in to external pressure, not the least from Russia.
"What we cannot accept is a condition on a bilateral agreement to have a kind of a possible veto of a third country. This is contrary to all principles of international law."
