The European Union (EU) is preparing long-term security commitments for Ukraine, according to Josep Borrell, High Representative of the EU for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and Vice-President of the European Commission.
During his trip to Kyiv, Josep Borrell noted that the Russian invasion of Ukraine is an “existential threat” to Europe.
“Russia’s war against Ukraine is an existential threat for all of us. In our 1st in-person meeting with Rustem Umerov [Ukraine’s Defense Minister – ed.], we discussed continuous EU military assistance. Ukraine needs more capabilities and needs them faster. We are preparing long-term security commitments for Ukraine,” Josep Borrell wrote on Twitter (X).
Josep Borrell arrived in the Ukrainian capital on 30 September and met with Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba, and Defense Minister Rustem Umerov. Together with Ukraine’s President, Josep Borrell paid tribute to the Ukrainian defenders who died during the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine.
