Josep Borrell: The outcome of the war in Ukraine will be determined by spring or summer
Josep Borrell, the European Union’s High Representative for Foreign Affairs, said on Thursday after meetings with U.S. officials that there should be no delay in supporting Kyiv, as the outcome of the war in Ukraine will be determined by this spring or summer.
Borrell, speaking to reporters, referred to the doubts and disagreements in the U.S. Congress over military aid to Kyiv, stating that his message to American politicians is that whatever needs to be done should be done quickly.
Joe Biden, the Democratic President of the United States, has been providing military support to Ukraine since the start of Russia’s military aggression in 2022. However, Donald Trump, his Republican rival in the upcoming November 5 presidential election, leans more towards isolationist policies.
Mike Johnson, the Republican Speaker of the House of Representatives, who is considered an ally of Trump, has so far refrained from putting the $60 billion aid package for Ukraine to a vote.
