According to journalists, on Monday, Borrel urged EU countries to coordinate its costs for military equipment. "The military reserves of most Member States were, I would not say, exhausted, but exhausted to a large extent because we provide Ukrainians with great potential. (EU military potential) needs to be replenished. The best way to replenish is to do it together. It will be cheaper," - said the EU chief diplomat.
During a recent meeting in Prague, the EU defense ministers discussed ways of combining military potential and resources, as well as wholesalers of ammunition ammunition, which Ukraine still requires in the course of Russia. Borrel warned that if the EU member states continue to expand their military capabilities, "the result will be a lot of money, because it is not a way to avoid repetition (purchases) or fill our gaps.
" In addition, Borrel expressed regret that a year ago 27 EU Member States did not agree to start training in the Ukrainian Armed Forces, despite the fact that several EU countries were invited to permission for such activities. "Unfortunately, we did not regret it today. We regret that in August we did not imitate this request, did not fulfill this request. (If the EU reacted then), we would be in a better situation," Borrel said .
