We call on EU countries to do everything possible to increase the air defense (air defense) capabilities of Ukraine. This was stated by the High Representative of the EU for foreign policy and security, Josep Borrell, before the start of today's joint meeting of the European Ministers of Foreign Affairs and Defense in Luxembourg, writes BTA.
He clarified that it is yet to be assessed what European countries can help with. According to him, more air defense systems and more ammunition for them are needed.
Borrell expressed hope that the ministers would reach the necessary unanimity to introduce additional sanctions against Iran. He specified that the sanctions are expected to affect the production and export of missiles and drones from Iran, which are then used against Ukraine.
We insist that Israel does not strike Rafah, where more than one million civilians are gathered, it would be a mass slaughter, the high representative said. He added that this call is supported by all EU countries.
