Putin Rejects Talks, Escalates Ukraine War After 4000 Days of Conflict
Following recent Russian attacks on Ukraine, EU High Representative Josep Borrell asserts that Vladimir Putin shows no willingness to negotiate peace, instead opting for escalation to achieve his long-standing goals of conquering and subjugating Ukraine. Borrell highlights that Putin’s initial expectation of a swift victory has been disproven by the ongoing conflict, now spanning over 4,000 days since the initial 2014 aggression. He criticizes the EU’s initially insufficient response and warns against further inaction, emphasizing that a lack of response only encourages further Russian escalation. Despite this, the EU has fulfilled its pledge of delivering one million artillery shells to Ukraine.
