The High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs, Josep Borrell, said today that in the next two weeks will decide the “victory” of the war in Ukraine and called on the Twenty-seven to continue supplying arms to kyiv.
“The next two weeks are going to decide which side the victory is going to fall on. And we have to continue helping, supplying weapons”, said Borrell upon entering a European Council dedicated to Ukraine in which, in addition to the leaders of the Twenty-seven, the president of the United States, Joe Biden, is invited.
The Community foreign policy coordinator He assured that the Russian forces are suffering “a great failure” military in Ukraine.
“The Russians attempted a quick and now they are massacring people. From a military point of view, it is a great failure for Russia. A month fighting and they have not been able to move more than 200 kilometers from their logistics bases,” he said.
According to Borrell, the inability of Vladimir Putin’s forces to gain ground in Ukraine and control large cities is causing Moscow’s attack to seek devastation.
“Since they cannot conquer the cities, they bombard them, killing innocents and destroying everything. But the Ukrainians are fighting and we are helping them, supplying them with weapons, and the outcome of the war is certainly not what the Kremlin expected. They may have a big loss. We will continue to support Ukraine, we will continue to put pressure on Russia,” he added.
