Against this background, the EU’s chief diplomat called for the mobilization of all forces to help Ukraine.
EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell recommended strengthening support for Ukraine against the background of the fact that Russian President Vladimir Putin has no intention of ending the war against Ukraine in the near future.
Borrell said this in an interview with The Guardian . He noted that the existence of the European Union is at stake in Ukraine, so it is necessary to pay attention to the danger that threatens European democracy.
“Putin has decided to continue the war until final victory. [Russia’s] success depends on getting as many people as possible on the battlefield…And if we don’t change course quickly, if we don’t mobilize all our capabilities, this will allow Putin to win the war in Ukraine.” , – Borrell expressed his opinion.
He explained that the Russian president cannot be satisfied with “a piece of Ukraine” and allow the rest of the territory to join the EU. Moreover, he expects that the US presidential election will create a more favorable scenario for him.
“We must prepare for a high-intensity conflict for a long time. Putin has decided to continue the war until the final victory,” the diplomat said.
Borrell added that Putin miscalculated the strength of his army, the strength of the Ukrainian resistance and the reaction of Western countries to his actions.
“Russia has never been able to become a nation. It has always been an empire with a tsar, with Soviets, and now with Putin. This is a constant of Russia, its political identity and, as a result, a threat to its neighbors – and especially to us,” he expressed his conviction. Borrell

Well I’m sure that is a great comfort to Ukraine. NOT. Thanks a lot marshmallow.

That I can agree with.
Borrell, although piss-weak, is still the best of the crapulous bunch of apparatchiks that make up the EU leadership. The others are much worse.
The Franco-German alliance that calls all the shots in the EU, is historically riddled with kremlin agents : Schroeder, Merkel, Sarkozy and pro-Russian smegheads like Hollande, Macron and Scholz. The latter of course seems to recently have had a Damascene conversion and is now pro-Ukraine.
If Trumpkov gets hold of power, it will be up to the EU to lead the aid programme for Ukraine. If I was Zel, I would not have much confidence in those cruds.
Borrell in fact promised on behalf of the EU to send modern fighter planes to Ukraine, back in March 2022. That of course never happened. So that gives you an idea of his integrity.
Putler’s plan is wishful thinking. His army is far, far away from being a professional one. Throwing meat and material into battle to get them wasted can last for only so long.
