EU tensions rise as Borrell pushes for offensive aid to Ukraine

Josep Borrell, the European Union's foreign affairs chief, on Monday expressed hope that EU member states would agree to Ukraine using the weapons supplied to it for attacks on targets located within Russian territory.

Borrell emphasized that Ukraine should have the ability to use the provided weapons not just for defense but also to target those launching attacks. He expressed confidence that this issue would be revisited and voiced hope that member states would reach a consensus on it ahead of the meeting with EU foreign ministers in Brussels.

Borrell emphasized that this issue will be discussed again during the EU foreign ministers' meeting, which is being held in Brussels. His statement points to growing tensions in the region and the need for decisive action in response to aggression from Russia.

Borrell's statement is important in the context of the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, where military support from the European Union plays a key role.

The decision to allow Ukraine to attack targets in Russia could significantly impact the dynamics of the conflict and Ukraine's defensive strategy.

The EU foreign ministers' meeting in Brussels aims to discuss further steps to support Ukraine and potential sanctions against Russia.

Borrell expressed hope that EU member states will make a joint decision enabling Ukraine to defend itself more effectively against Russian aggression.
