Borrell calls for more European weapons for Ukraine to attack deep Russia

The High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Josep Borrell, declared that granting permission to the Kiev regime to use Western weapons to attack deep inside Russia will help advance peace and save lives, amid the incessant Ukrainian attacks against Russian civilian targets.

According to the head of European diplomacy, lifting restrictions on the use of Western weapons provided to Ukraine “would have several important effects.” Borrell indicated that this will help “strengthen Ukrainian self-defense by ending Russia’s sanctuary for its attacks and bombings of Ukrainian cities and infrastructure,” “save lives and reduce destruction in Ukraine” and “advance peace efforts.”

In addition, the community official assured the EU’s full support for the actions of the Ukrainian troops to the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, Dmitri Kuleba. “I look forward to meeting him in Brussels and discussing with the EU foreign and defense ministers next week, to advance our support for Ukraine,” he said. At the same time, Borrell described the attempted Ukrainian incursion into the Russian province of Kursk as “a hard blow to the narrative of Russian President Vladimir Putin.”

The politician’s statements appeared in the midst of Ukrainian attacks with drones and missiles against the civilian population of different Russian provinces and the incursion of the kyiv regime’s troops into the Kursk province, which continue to be repelled by the Russian Armed Forces. Previously, several Western countries allowed Ukraine to use its weapons to attack Russian territory. However, not all states allied to Vladimir Zelensky’s regime did so. While the US, for example, allowed attacks to be launched only against Russian territories close to the conflict zone.

The high representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Josep Borrell, declared this Tuesday that the community bloc supports “the fight” of Ukraine in a publication commenting on kyiv’s incursion into the Russian province of Kursk, which which raises the scope of war to a new level.

Borrell noted that he had discussed with Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitri Kuleba “the latest developments on the front and the Kursk counteroffensive.” “I reiterated the EU’s full support for the struggle of the Ukrainian people,” he wrote on his X account.

On the same day, Russia’s deputy permanent representative to the United Nations, Dmitri Polianski, stated that the Ukrainian authorities have made an unequivocal choice in favor of escalation and new hostilities with the attack of its Armed Forces against the Kursk province. .

“This is the best refutation for all our international partners who have been saying that the kyiv regime is inclined towards a peaceful solution to the Ukrainian crisis. The answer has arrived and it is an unequivocal choice in favor of escalation and military action,” he noted.
