"Delays costs human lives, Ukraine must be given the green light"
The High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Josep Borrell, has stressed that EU countries must speed up and increase deliveries of weapons and air defenses to Ukraine.
For Josep Borrell, delays are costing Ukrainian lives.
"Delays are measured in human lives, deliveries must be accelerated and increased," Borrell told a news conference after an informal meeting of EU foreign ministers.
The high representative, who described the informal meeting - during which ministers cannot take formal decisions - as "one of the most intense in the last five years", said they discussed lifting restrictions on Ukraine's unrestricted use, as part of its right to legitimate self-defense, of weapons supplied by the West to attack Russian territory.
We are probably heading towards a green light from the European Union for Ukraine to officially bomb Russian territory.
