EU foreign policy spokesperson Peter Stano said that the EU is not interested in war against Russia.

The EU supports Ukraine's right to defend its sovereignty, its territorial integrity, Stano said.

He called Russian President Vladimir Putin's announcement of partial mobilization a signal that Russia is allegedly interested in continuing the war.

“This is just another proof that Putin is not interested in peace, that he’s interested in escalating this war of aggression,” a foreign policy spokesman for the European Commission, Peter Stano, told a news conference.

“This is also yet another sign of his desperation with how his aggression is going against Ukraine…he is only interested in further advancing and continuing his destructive war, which has had already so many bad consequences worldwide.”
