EU fails to provide Ukraine with sufficient defense resources against Russia - top diplomat
EU top diplomat Josep Borrell says the European Union has failed to provide Ukraine with sufficient defense resources to repel Russian attacks
He wrote about this in his blog.
According to him, the EU continues to provide financial, humanitarian, and military support to Ukraine. However, despite all this, Europe has failed to provide Ukraine with sufficient resources to protect it from constant air attacks on its civilian and energy infrastructure.
“The winter is going to be very harsh for Ukrainians, with massive power cuts. Nor have we managed to provide sufficient support to Ukraine, particularly on the ammunition side, to enable it to prevent the Russian army from continuing its advance into Donetsk, let alone take back lost territory,” he wrote.
He also recalled the words of political scientist Ivan Krastev, who stated the difference between waking up and getting out of bed to act: “Many in Europe have certainly been woken up by Vladimir Putin’s aggression against Ukraine, but have not yet really got out of bed.”
- Borrell recently said that he "sees no connection" between the U.S. decision to allow Ukraine to strike Russia with long-range weapons and a hypothetical nuclear war.
