If the Western allies stop supporting Ukraine, the war could end in just 15 days with a victory for Russia. This was stated by the High Representative of the EU for Foreign Affairs, Josep Borrell, writes edition of 20minutos.
Borrell noted that many people want the war to end as soon as possible, especially Ukrainians themselves. However, he emphasized that it is important not only when the war ends, but also how.
“If we stop supporting Ukraine, in fifteen days the war will end and Putin will achieve his goals. But do we want this for the Ukrainians and for the safety of ourselves, the Europeans?”, – emphasized the politician.
Borrell stressed the need to do everything possible so that Ukraine can negotiate with Russia on terms that guarantee its sovereignty and territorial integrity when the time comes for diplomatic efforts.
Earlier, the head of European diplomacy called for Ukraine to be allowed to strike deep into Russian territory, stressing that Putin is trying to achieve through the energy collapse what he could not achieve on the battlefield. He also reminded that the allies promised to support Ukraine by all possible means as long as it is needed, especially in winter, when the energy front will become decisive. The total amount of aid to Ukraine from the EU has exceeded 130 billion euros, Borrell added.
