russia is becoming more and more isolated and is losing war — Borrell

EU diplomacy head, Josep Borrell, said that russia is losing the war and emphasized the need to continue supporting Ukraine.

He said this before the meeting of the ministers of foreign affairs of the EU countries, EP reports.

"The socio-economic consequences of the war continue all over the world. russia is becoming more and more isolated; we have seen this in the UN in recent days. Morally, politically, and even militarily, russia is losing this war. We must continue to support Ukraine," Borrell said.

He expressed hope that the ministers will decide on creating a new training mission for the Ukrainian military on Monday.

According to Borrell, the ministers will also discuss possible sanctions against Iran, which supplies russia with military drones for attacks on Ukraine.

"We will consider concrete evidence of Iran's involvement, which Tehran strongly denies. Ukrainian Minister Dmytro Kuleba will take part in the meeting. But today's sanctions will be related to repression against protesters," he added.

The ministers of foreign affairs of the EU members at the meeting on October 17 should approve the decision to create a military training mission for Ukraine and allocate an additional 500 million euros for arming the Ukrainian army.
