Details: Josep Borrell stressed that over 15 months of war, Russia has not abandoned its intention to "subjugate" Ukraine and continue to destroy it. Therefore, it is important to provide long-term instruments to support Kyiv in addition to the short-term ones that exist today.

Quote: "And I want to send a clear message to Putin: there is no fatigue and there will be no fatigue. We will continue supporting Ukraine as much as Ukraine needs and for as long as needed."

More details: He stressed that in the current situation, Ukraine cannot give up the struggle if it wishes to continue existing as a nation, as long as Russia does not want to stop fighting.

Quote: "Many people say they want peace. We do. And the ones who want peace more than anyone else are the Ukrainians. Ukrainians want peace. We want peace. But we want a capitulation. We do not want Ukraine to become a second Belarus."

Background: Earlier, Borrell said that Beijing, although it remains an important partner of Brussels, has lost the opportunity to mediate in the war unleashed by Russia.
