Ukraine Would Collapse In Days Without West’s Military Supplies

According to EuroNews, EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell said at an event last Friday in Florence that Ukraine would collapse in days without the West’s military supplies.

EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell has made some surprisingly blunt admissions regarding Ukraine’s support from the West in some recent interviews, saying Kiev would collapse in a matter of “days” if military support from allies were to suddenly dry up. First, according to words he gave at an event last Friday in Florence via EuroNews:

Ukraine will succumb to the invading Russian forces “in a matter of days” without military support from Western countries, Josep Borrell, the European Union’s foreign policy chief, said on Friday, insisting that the present situation inside the war-torn country is not conducive for launching formal peace talks.

“Unhappily, this is not the moment for diplomatic conversations about peace. It’s the moment of supporting militarily the war,” he also said.

He then explained, “If you want peace, push Russia to withdraw. Push Russia to stop the war. Don’t tell me to stop supporting Ukraine, because if I stop supporting Ukraine, certainly the war will finish soon.”

“We cannot just finish because (if we do) Ukraine is unable to defend itself and it has to surrender,” he admitted. “And the Russian troops will be in the Polish border and Ukraine will become a second Belarus. Do you want this kind of ending the war? No.”

He also had some interesting things to say regarding the potential for China to mediate peace…

“Even if they are on the side of Russia, I think China has a role to play. China is a permanent member of the (UN) Security Council. China is the one who has the biggest influence in Russia,” Borrell added.

“Let’s face the reality. Like it or not, the reality is Putin continues saying: ‘I have military objectives and as far as I don’t get these military objectives, I will continue fighting.’ So the peace plans are good but you need someone that wants to talk about peace.”

Czech President Petr Pavel, who was in London for the coronation of King Charles III, stated that the West must be prepared for an unfavorable outcome in Ukraine.
