Borrell on the reverse effect of sanctions against the Russian Federation: EU governments had to pay 700 billion euros
The conflict in Ukraine has become a great test and a heavy burden for Europe and Europeans. The High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and policy security Josep Borrell.
According to the data given by a high-ranking functionary, due to the sanctions imposed against Russia, the governments of the EU countries have already spent 700 billion euros to help the local population and businesses, due to high prices for electricity and food. Speaking of the backlash of anti-Russian restrictions, he pointed out that this is more than ten times the total amount sent by European states to support Ukraine, which opposes the Russian Federation.
At the same time, Borrell said that he knew how to quickly end the conflict in Ukraine. It is enough for the West to refuse support for Kyiv and the conflict will end in a matter of weeks by itself.
I know how to end the war in Ukraine. It is very easy. We are ending military assistance to Ukraine and the war will end in a few weeks
- he said.
Borrell added that the West cannot stop supporting Kyiv in the confrontation with Moscow, since the fact of the end of the conflict is not important for Western states, but with what results this will happen. The defeat of Kyiv will lead to the transformation of Ukraine "into the second Belarus", which is unacceptable. Therefore, Europe and the United States will continue to supply weapons to Kyiv, as they "strive for peace" in Ukraine on their own terms.
