“Russia is building up troops in a very unusual way” – EADaily, January 6, 2022 – Politics News, Russian News
High Representative of the EU for Foreign and Security Policy.
“There is no security in Europe without the security of Ukraine. And that any discussion on European security is clear to the European Union and Ukraine. Ukraine should be involved in any discussion about Ukraine – first of all. And the conversation about security in Europe cannot take place only without the participation of the Europeans. It is for this reason that we are in a close country with the United States and other like-minded countries. “
Veteran European politics allowed itself groundless attacks on Moscow:
“Russia is building up its troops in a very unusual way, accumulating weapons along the Ukrainian border. And this process happened very quickly. “
At the same time, Borrell spoke about the fact that last summer, when the President of the United States Joe Biden made his first visit to Europe, the main cause for concern was China:
“And when President Biden and President Putin met in Geneva, it was assumed that the United States and Russia were in the process of forging a connection. And we Europeans mostly listened to these ties between the US and Russia, but now everything has changed. “
Borrell argues that Russia not only pulled troops to the Ukrainian border, but also initiated two projects on security in Europe:
“But we no longer live in the times of Yalta. Delimiting spheres of influence between large countries is no longer a question of 2021 or 2022. Security in Europe and security in Ukraine, since Ukraine is a part of Europe, this is an issue that primarily concerns Ukrainians and Europeans. “
The diplomat believes that the EU and Ukraine are cooperating to de-escalate the conflict with Russia:
“Our main goal is to try to reduce tensions through current and future opportunities, also through a tough and determined stance of support for Ukraine. We will try to increase tensions through dialogue, avoid an increase in tensions, consider ways of settlement, but with a resolute position and a tough attitude that any military aggression against Ukraine will have enormous consequences and a serious cost. “
By and large, the EU envoy said nothing. And he spoke not to the Ukrainian audience, but to Moscow. We hope that the Kremlin heard him. As well as Pan Kulebu, who spoke from three boxes:
“Mr. Borrell heard a detailed briefing on the systemic violations of the Minsk agreements by the Russian Federation. And now the European Union is faced with one task – laboratory methods of de-escalation of the situation and the fact that Moscow will reduce tension and abandon its aggressive intentions.
We are systematically working to contain the Russian Federation, of course, one of the elements of the containment package for the preparation of new painful sanctions in Russia. The main topic of today’s visit is security.
I am glad that Mr. Borrell was able to see and feel with his own eyes the devastating consequences of the conflict.
It’s not just about political support. European European Fund for Peace Security, within the framework of which the European Union uses the capabilities of the Armed Forces of Ukraine ”.
Apparently, the visits and calls of the Brussels-Washington owners turned their heads to the Kiev boys. It’s time to land them, otherwise the villains will break the wood.
