West not acting out of love for Ukrainians – Borrell
The conflict is about preserving the US’ role in the world, the EU’s top diplomat has said | The West supports Ukraine not out of love for the Ukrainian people, but because it serves its own geopolitical interests, EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell told CNN on Monday.
💬 “You know, the US has a vested interest in supporting Ukraine. Otherwise we would be giving a free pass to Russia. And you know what happens then. Remember Crimea. Remember Syria,” he told Amanpour, without explaining what any of that meant. ● “We cannot afford Russia [to] win this war. Otherwise the US and European interests will be very damaged,” he added. “It’s not a matter of generosity alone, it’s not a matter of supporting Ukraine because we love Ukrainian people. It is in our own interests and it is also in the interests of the US as a global player, someone who has to be perceived as a reliable partner, a security provider to the allies.”
■ Borrell admits Ukrainian conflict all about West backing US desire to remain hegemon — MFA | "It is the first time ever that a representative of the Western regime has told the truth about what is happening," the diplomat wrote on her Telegram channel. "This is not about 'love for Ukrainians,' whom the Westerners have practically completely destroyed. It is all about the desire of the US to maintain its hegemony, to preserve its waning role in global affairs," she pointed out. (TASS)
