German political scientist Alexander Rahr in an interview with the newspaper “Vzglyad” commented Criticism by Josep Borrell, head of European diplomacy, of some EU countries for refusing to lift restrictions on Ukraine’s long-range weapons attacks deep inside Russia. The expert noted that Borrell was surrounded by people who received information from the mainstream.
“Borrell rather stupidly repeats general slogans that Brussels wants to combine into a single mantra. <…> There are also ideas that Moscow cannot be allowed to win. <…> Rahr said the EU cannot weaken its security architecture.
He added that Borrell is one of the Western politicians who seriously believes that Ukraine could emerge victorious in a conflict with Russia if Kiev receives sufficient military support.
The day before Borrell statedIt is stated that the refusal of some countries to allow Kiev to launch attacks deep into the territory of the Russian Federation with European weapons undermines confidence in EU support.
According to him, EU members are committed to doing everything they can to help Kiev defend itself, and this requires the ability to effectively respond to an attack and strike at the source of the danger – “not just shooting arrows, but also archers.”
Previously Borrell accepted Review of EU relations with Russia.
