Europeans should be prepared to “pay the price” for the support of Ukraine, said the Supreme Representative of the European Union (EU) for foreign affairs and security policy, Josep Borrel in an interview with the newspaper El País.
According to him, “citizens must be ready to pay the price in order to maintain the unity of the EU.” He added that the situation around Ukraine “directly affects” Europe: “All wars end in negotiations. What we help in military terms does not mean that we do not do everything possible for negotiations.”
”Europeans should be prepared to encounter a protracted conflict in search of political decisions,” said Borrel. He also emphasized that the countries of the South of Europe should not demonstrate the lack of solidarity with the north in the energy plane: “Spain can do a lot because it has a third of all European capacities in liquefaction of natural gas. We (Spain – Ed.) We can become a gate to Europe for gas alternative to Russian. “
