“It is the Ukrainians, and they alone, who will be responsible for determining the future conditions of peace,” writes European Commissioner for Foreign Affairs and Security Josep Borrell in an article for Le Journal du Dimanche

"Let's have no illusions. Putin will not surrender voluntarily. And the war can go on for a long time. Of course, there will be peace after the war. But before making peace, we must end the war."

Therefore, Borrell calls on the EU to increase assistance to Ukraine. To do this, in his opinion, it is necessary to continue the course chosen on February 24: "not to take a direct part in the conflict, but to mobilize huge economic and military resources to allow the Ukrainians to restore their trampled sovereignty."
