EUROPEAN Union foreign policy chief Josep Borrell called on G7 ministers today to provide more air defence systems to Ukraine as a matter of urgency, warning that continued delays could pave the way for a Russian victory in the two-year-old war.
He spoke on the sidelines of a meeting of the British, Canadian, French, German, Italian, Japanese and US foreign ministers on the Italian island of Capri.
Without more Patriot air defence missile systems to protect against Russian strikes, “the electricity system of Ukraine will be destroyed. And no country can fight without having electricity at home, in the factories, in the front line,” Mr Borrell warned.
