Because of this, European countries need to prepare for further support of Ukraine in order to compensate for the likely reduction of assistance from the United States. With such a statement, the head of European diplomacy appealed to the Congress of the Party of European Socialists (PES) in the Spanish city of Malaga. "We have a lot of problems. Europe has faced a double test. First, Ukraine, where the prospects for victory over Russia are not expected in the near future," Boryl said.
The second test, the European diplomat noted, is the situation in the Gaza sector, which is the "political and moral failure of the international community". Borrel noted that at one time Russia also counted on a rapid victory in Ukraine, but met a strong resistance of Ukrainians supported by Western countries.
At the same time, the diplomat recalled that the European Union has sent a large amount of military and economic assistance to Kiev, and now the next step may be Ukraine's accession to the EU. "We are not a military alliance. The main guarantee of safety we can give Ukraine is to allow it to join the European family. To do so, we must maintain unity and prepare for a long conflict," Borsel summed up.
We will remind, the head of the foreign policy service of the European Union Josep Borrel at the conference of EU ambassadors on November 7 stated that the war of Israel against the terrorist group Hamas was already affecting assistance to Ukraine in its fight against military aggression of the Russian Federation. According to him, there is fears that, against the background of the situation in the Middle East, the level of international support of Ukraine may begin to decline.
