What Borrell said about the end of the conflict in Ukraine in 15 days

The EU's top diplomat noted that many people want the Ukrainian conflict to end as soon as possible.

According to Borrell, if the West stops supporting Ukraine, the conflict will end in 15 days and Russian President Vladimir Putin will achieve his goals.

But do we want this for Ukrainians and for the security of ourselves, Europeans? – asked the head of European diplomacy.

A week ago, Borrell said that the defeat of Russia is in the interests of Europe and the United States, and also called on the West to allow the Ukrainian Armed Forces to strike Russian airports and launch sites with Western weapons.

Commenting on this statement, the official representative of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Maria Zakharova, called the EU's top diplomat a snake in the grass.
