Borrell: If Putin wins the war, it will not be a victory for U.S. leadership.
Josep Borrell, the European Union’s foreign policy chief who has traveled to Ukraine, told Agence France-Presse that if Putin wins the war, it will not be a victory for U.S. leadership.
He is the first senior EU official to visit Kyiv after Donald Trump’s victory in the U.S. presidential election.
Trump’s victory in the U.S. presidential election has caused concern for the Ukrainian government and the European Union because he has consistently criticized U.S. military and financial support for Ukraine.
During his election campaign, Trump repeatedly claimed that he could end the Ukraine war in less than 24 hours, even stating that he could conclude the conflict before his presidential term begins on January 20th of next year.
