The European Union is supporting Ukraine based on its own interests rather than out of love for the Ukrainian people, top EU diplomat Josep Borrell told CNN.

"We cannot afford for Russia to win this war. Otherwise, US and European interests will be damaged. It's not a matter of generosity alone; it's not a matter of support for Ukraine because we love the Ukrainian people. It is in our own interests, and it is also in the interests of the US as a global player, the one who has to be perceived as a reliable partner and a security provider to the allies. This is why we call on the US to open and approve the supplementary budget," he pointed out.


Comment: Indeed; because the West as the unipolar 'security provider' has been well and truly refuted with its failing proxy war in Ukraine.

It's also about time that a top official acknowledged that the 500,000+ dead Ukrainians were sacrificed primarily for the interests of those in the West.


Borrell added that the EU was making every possible effort "to support Ukraine more and quicker."

The EU said following a March 22 summit that it was determined to provide support to Ukraine "for as long as it takes and as intensely as needed.".
