The head of European diplomacy, Josep Borrell, said that European societies cannot afford to be war-weary because this is what Putin is counting on. According to Borrell, the governments of the EU member states should continue to follow the decisions they have taken, bearing in mind the sanctions already in place. “EU member countries decided to introduce restrictive measures against the Russian economy, and they must carry them out. In addition, they must maintain pressure on the Russian economy, realizing that a miraculous settlement will not happen. But we must do it the same way we continue to provide military support for Ukraine,” Borrell said after the EU Council meeting.
