The EU will provide as much support as we can in Ukraine through our mission to the prosecutors, said High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell.

His remarks came ahead of Foreign Affairs Council meeting upon arrival

"We are going to discuss about Ukraine, once again. 

I will debrief the Foreign Affairs Council about the travel to Ukraine, together with the President of the Commission [Ursula von der Leyen]. We have witnessed what is happening there, the brutal aggression of the Russian troops against the civilian population. We came back really move after what we have seen. Really, you can go to Kyiv. Go to Kyiv as much as you can and witness," he noted.

"We have opened our Delegation there. We are going to discuss how we can support better the Ukrainian people and also how we can support the International Criminal Court [ICC]. I have just been meeting with the [ICC] Prosecutor, Mr [Karim] Khan. We will provide as much support as we can, through our mission, to the prosecutors, both the Ukrainian and the ICC prosecutors," Borrell addedl.

"We will also discuss about other issues. The Global Gateway, for example. How we can better partner around the world with our like-minded countries and how we can support them in order to face the economic crisis, which is coming. Because everybody will have to face the consequences of this war - not of the sanctions, but of the war - in terms of price increase on energy and food.

This is more or less what we are going to do today," he concluded.

Note that two days ago, Borrell in his Twitter said that the conflict in Ukraine would be resolved on the battlefield. This statement was criticized by the Russian side.

Asked if he believes a battle will be won on the battlefield, Borrell affirmed: “Normally wars have been won or lost on the battlefields. Yes."
