Borrell urges to provide Ukraine with Patriot: Western armies have about 100 batteries, Ukraine asks for only 7
Kyiv • UNN
The EU should provide Ukraine with 7 Patriot batteries out of the 100 available in Western armies to help defend against Russian missiles and bombs, EU diplomat Josep Borrell said.
The EU should fulfill its commitments to Ukraine and provide air defense equipment. Western armies have about 100 Patriot batteries, while Ukraine is asking for only seven of them. This was stated by EU diplomacy chief Josep Borrell during a speech at the Nueva Economia Forum, UNN reports.
"The situation is extremely difficult. The Russian military machine is running at full speed. With significant costs, but at full speed," the diplomat emphasized.
He called for an increase in air defense capabilities so that Ukraine can stop Russian missiles and their bombs that destroy urban infrastructure.
Borrell also noted that it is necessary to talk more about how to avoid destruction rather than about reconstruction in Ukraine. The best way to spend less money on reconstruction is to spend more on preventing destruction," the EU High Representative said.
A few days ago, I spoke with Ukraine's Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba, and he was desperate for seven Patriot batteries to defend his country. It is unimaginable that we could not provide them, given that Western armies have about 100 Patriot batteries. And yet we are unable to provide the seven they so desperately ask for
According to him, the war against Ukraine is a threat to the entire Union. Russian President Putin intends to extend his destabilizing activities to the entire EU.
"In the next European elections, you will see how Russian destabilization will threaten our democracy. But the prospect of a high-intensity conventional war in Europe is no longer a fantasy," the diplomat added.
