Borrel: European Union does not want to lose Ukraine and therefore will continue to arm it

The European Union does not want to lose Ukraine in conflict with Russia, so it will continue to arm it, said the head of the diplomacy of the European Union Josep Borrel, speaking to deputies at the plenary session of the European Parliament in Strasbourg.

“in this parliament they told me that it was necessary to put an end to the conflict as quickly as possible, for which it is necessary to stop arming Ukraine. But if everything is over the destroyed and defeated country with millions of refugees and thousands of dead, then we do not want. Therefore, we must Continue to arm Ukraine, “Borrel RIA Novosti quotes.

According to him, 1 billion euros, which the European Union allocated for the financing of military assistance to the Ukrainian army, “is not such a significant amount, taking into account how much EU spends daily for the purchase of fuel in Russia.”
