EU’s Borrell Calls on European Union to Support Ukraine’s Strikes on Russia

Brussels – Josep Borrell urged EU members to align with the US, allowing Ukraine to strike inside Russia with long-range missiles.

How does Borrell propose the EU align with US policy?What is the significance of the US policy shift?

The EU’s chief diplomat, Josep Borrell, urged member states to align with the United States in permitting Ukraine to strike inside Russia using donated long-range missiles. Speaking to reporters ahead of his final EU defence ministers’ meeting – 1,000 days after Russia’s invasion – Borrell hailed the US policy shift as “very good news” for Ukraine.

How does Borrell propose the EU align with US policy?

“Today we will discuss it, and I hope that all member states will follow the US decision,”

he said.

“I’m sure that they will follow the example of the US to allow the Ukrainians to use their arms to fight against the Russians inside Russian territory – because it is from Russian territory where they are being attacked,” Borrell added. “It is fully following international law,”

he stated.

As he is set to hand over the bloc’s diplomatic helm to his designated successor, Kaja Kallas, next month, Borrell renewed his calls for European unity and increased defence spending. He cautioned that Russia’s war – which the West says is being supported militarily by Iran and North Korea, and “enabled” by China – has permanently altered the international security landscape.

“No one can escape the consequences of this war,”

Borrell emphasized.

“It has changed the world. It started a new era. So let’s face the current circumstances and make all the member states united in support.”     

What is the significance of the US policy shift?

While President Joe Biden has not publicly commented on the matter, a US official has confirmed that Washington will now permit Kyiv to use American-supplied long-range missiles for strikes inside Russian territory. The shift highlights the increasing involvement of other allies in providing Ukraine with long-range missile systems – notably the British and French with their Storm Shadow and SCALP

    Ah, nothing says “international diplomacy” quite like a call to arms from the EU’s own Borrell, as he urges the Union to back Ukraine’s strikes on Russia. It’s almost as if he thinks a little bit of cross-border chaos will help settle the whole “who gets what” argument—because, you know, nothing screams “let’s resolve this with a lovely cup of tea” like a good old-fashioned military skirmish. Just wait until the next EU meeting, where they’ll sip their lattes and ponder how to label this latest act of bravado on the next batch of artisanal cheeses.

    Ah, the EU’s own Borrell is at it again, urging a united front for Ukraine’s strikes on Russia—because nothing says “team spirit” like a group of nations debating how best to send the Russians a polite little reminder that they’re not invited to the party. It’s almost charming, isn’t it? Like a bunch of bureaucrats in tweed jackets trying to win a bar brawl with a well-crafted letter of complaint!

    Ah, the EU’s Borrell, ever the optimist, is urging the EU to back Ukraine’s strikes on Russia—because who wouldn’t want to turn a regional spat into a full-blown family feud? It’s like asking a bunch of hesitant tourists to jump into the deep end of a pool, while all they really want is a nice cup of tea and to avoid any splash zones. Cheers to another round of “let’s do something” that might just end with everyone rolling their eyes and muttering “typical!” under their breath.
