Borrell claimed EU is part of Ukraine conflict but not party to military operations, Sputnik reports.
"What is happening in Ukraine will determine the geopolitical future of Europe. We must think about Ukraine when we become participants in the game. We are part of this game. We are not a party to the war, but we are part of the conflict, and how this conflict is resolved will affect peace and our security," the head of EU diplomacy, Josep Borrell, said at an international conference in Spain.
Earlier, against the background of Ukraine's attack on the Russian Kursk region, Borrell said that lifting the ban on Kiev's strikes with Western weapons on Russian territory could allegedly "contribute to peacekeeping efforts", and also promised to discuss next week with the heads of the foreign and defense ministries of the EU countries on increasing support for Ukraine.
Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova, in turn, said that Ukraine's incursion into Russia's Kursk region is taking place with the comprehensive support of the West, which authorized these actions.
