In case you missed this statement from the EU council released late last night, the body commended Ukraine’s “posture of restraint” in the face of “continued provocations and efforts at destabilisation”.
Josep Borrell, high representative on behalf of the EU, said:
The EU urges Russia to de-escalate by a substantial withdrawal of military forces from the proximity of Ukraine’s borders.
We commend Ukraine’s posture of restraint in the face of continued provocations and efforts at destabilisation.
The EU is extremely concerned that staged events, as noted recently, could be used as a pretext for possible military escalation.
The security architecture of our world is brittle, it is obsolete … Action is needed. This is not about war in Ukraine, this is about war in Europe.”
Even the question of just making it public, preventably, just a list of sanctions for them, for us and to know what will happen if they start the war, even that question does not have the support.
We don’t need your sanctions after the bombardment will happen and after our country will be fired at or after we will have no borders, or after we will have no economy or part of our countries will be occupied… why would we need those sanctions then?”
