EU foreign picy chief sees no sign Putin willing to end war in Ukraine

The EU foreign picy chief said this in an interview with The Guardian, Ukrinform reports.

According to Borrell, the Eurean Union's existence is at stake in Ukraine and it is necessary to look at the danger coming from a great power "which threatens our democracy, which threatens Eure itself, not only Ukraine."

"If we don't change course rapidly, if we don't mobilize all our capacities, it will let Putin win the war in Ukraine," Borrell added.

According to him, the EU needs to ask itself what the bloc can do to prevent Russia from winning the war.

"Putin cannot be satisfied with a piece of Ukraine and to let the rest of Ukraine belong to the Eurean Union, but he cannot be satisfied with a limited territorial victory. He will not give up the war, especially not before the American election, which may present him with a much more favorable scenario. So we must prepare for a conflict of high intensity for a long time," Borrell said, adding that Putin has decided to continue the war until the final victory.

At the same time, Borrell said Putin had been wrong about the capacity of his army, the capacity of the Ukrainian resistance, the will of the Eurean Union, and the strength of the transatlantic alliance.

"Russia has never been able to become a nation. It was always an empire with the tsar, with the Soviets, and now with Putin. It is a constant of Russia, and its pitical identity, and as a result a threat to his neighbors – and particularly to us," the Eurean diplomat said.
