EU High Representative Josep Borrell said today that European Union defense ministers “do not agree with those who say that Ukraine cannot win this war and we must stop supporting it.”

No. Against. Ukraine is doing well. This confuses Putin’s plans for an early victory. It is capable of defending itself,” Borrell stressed in response to a statement by pro-Russian Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban that Ukraine would not be able to defeat the Russian Federation.
Borrell stated that the total amount of support provided by the EU – economic, military, humanitarian, financial, with refugees – has already reached 65 billion euros.
This means that we are leaders in supporting Ukraine, and we will continue to play this role,” the chief EU diplomat stressed.
Recall that Orban began to push pro-Russian narratives about the impossibility of victory for the Armed Forces of Ukraine. He believes that it does not matter who unleashed the aggression if people are dying now. At the Qatar Economic Forum, Orban said Ukraine’s war effort was doomed, and sending more aid would only lead to more deaths. Ukrainian Foreign Ministry spokesman Oleg Nikolenko responded that Orban’s statement removes Russia’s responsibility for its aggression. However, the Ukrainians will continue to fight until the complete liberation of their territories: “The same European politicians argued last year that Ukraine has no chance to hold out for more than 72 hours. They were wrong then, and they are wrong now.
