EU's Borrell warns coming months 'decisive' for Ukraine war

EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell warned Thursday that the Ukraine war could be decided in the coming months, urging during a visit to Washington for allies to rush aid to Kyiv, AFP reports.

"It's this spring, this summer before autumn that the war in Ukraine will be decided," Borrell told reporters Thursday afternoon.

After a stop in New York to address the UN Security Council, Borrell was visiting the US capital for meetings with Secretary of State Antony Blinken, among other events.

Borrell said that in all his meetings, he has stressed the consequences of what a Russian victory in Ukraine would be.

If President Vladimir Putin "wins this war and conquers Ukraine and puts a puppet regime in Kyiv -- as the one we already have in Belarus – he will not stop there," Borrell said.

"The next months will be decisive," he said, adding that "whatever has to be done, it has to be done quickly."

A $60 billion Ukraine aid package passed by the US Senate has been blocked in the Republican-led House, as Speaker Mike Johnson calls first for more action against illegal immigration.
