Draghi: "Kiev must win or it will be fatal for the EU", "War is a premeditated step by Putin"

"Russia's brutal invasion of Ukraine was not an act of unpredictable madness" but "a premeditated step" by Vladimir Putin and "an intentional blow to the EU. The existential values of the European Union are peace, freedom and respect for democratic sovereignty," and that is "why there is no alternative for the United States, Europe and their allies but to ensure that Ukraine wins this war." This was said by former Prime Minister Mario Draghi, speaking at MIT in Boston. For Draghi, accepting a Russian victory "would deal a fatal blow to the EU."
