Borrell: The Europeans will not die for Donbass, but they must support Kiev

Europeans will not die for Donbas, but must continue to support Kiev, EU Foreign Policy Commissioner Josep Borrell said.

Borrell added in a speech during a special session of the World Economic Forum in Riyadh, today, Sunday, that Europe must continue to support Ukraine with weapons.

He said, "The Europeans will not die for Donbass, but we can avoid the Ukrainians dying for Donbass for a long time," stressing the need "to continue to support Ukraine as long as it resists."

Borrell indicated that he knows that “people are wondering how long we will have to spend money” on Ukraine, saying: “But we promised to support Ukraine,” stressing that the European Union intends to help Kiev as long as it is necessary.
