Ukraine needs to strengthen its military arsenal. Partners should provide long-range missiles, states European Union diplomat Josep Borrell.
As shared by Borrell, he had a phone conversation with the Polish Minister of Foreign Affairs, Radosław Sikorski.
The politicians expressed concerns over intensified Russian air attacks against Ukraine's civilian infrastructure.
"We agreed on the need to enhance our military support to Ukraine, including with long range and anti aircraft missiles," Borrell wrote.
They also discussed ways to enhance measures against circumventing sanctions against Russia, noting that a significantly increased European export to third countries could be re-exported to Russia.
