The head of the European Union's foreign policy service, Josep Borrell, said that Russia would not negotiate until it won the conflict. Borrell added that he expects the conflict to develop this summer without optimism.
The European Union "must continue to increase military support" for Ukraine, he said. Earlier, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that the escalation in connection with the supply of weapons to Ukraine is unacceptable and many people in the West understand this. According to him, the Russian Armed Forces have the means to respond to the possible supply of Western aircraft to the Ukrainian army.
