Borrell: EU countries should provide Ukraine with large-caliber guns

The head of EU diplomacy, Josep Borrell, said that the EU should supply large-caliber weapons to Ukraine. He told reporters about this, TASS reports.

“We must provide Ukraine with ammunition, large-caliber guns, anti-tank weapons, fuel for tanks and aircraft. And it all needs to be coordinated,” he said.

Earlier, the head of the European Commission (EC), Ursula von der Leyen, said that the European Union would finance the purchase and supply of weapons to Ukraine for the first time.

Prior to this, Josep Borrell said that the current agenda of EU leaders does not include the issue of admitting Ukraine to the European Union.

In February 2019, the Verkhovna Rada approved amendments to the constitution of Ukraine, fixing the country's strategic course towards joining the European Union and NATO.

Polish President Andrzej Duda said that Warsaw supports the accelerated path of Ukraine's accession to the European Union.

Prior to this, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky said that it was time to make a decision on the membership of his state in the EU.
