EU foreign affairs chief: Ukraine has LOST unless things change
- “We have to increase and accelerate our military support”
- Josep Borrell insisted he is “not” seeking to militarise the EU, but only to “increase” the military spending of EU countries and encourage them to procure armaments “jointly”
- Ukraine could also be offered political membership of the EU “quickly”
Josep Borrell, the EU foreign affairs chief, has warned that Ukraine will lose the war unless EU countries both increase their military spending and “procure ammunition jointly” to speed up the supply of lethal arms to Zelensky.
“We have to increase and accelerate our military support.”
Borrell insisted he was “not” seeking to militarise Europe, but said: ‘We have taken too much time to make critical decisions such as providing battle tanks’.
“Pressed by Ukrainian MPs to set a date for their country’s membership of the EU, Borrell said it was not likely to happen anytime soon. But the Polish MEP Radosław Sikorski suggested granting Ukraine political membership of the EU quickly, and then allowing it to fulfil the necessary criteria on a step-by-step process.
“Borrell admitted that the global south does not share the US-EU-Israeli characterisation of Russia as a threat.
“Many countries in Latin America are anti-imperialist, he said, believing the west supported dictatorships in the past, and there is similar deep resentment in Africa.
“‘People have memories …’ he added.”

U.S. officials believe China may be providing Russia nonlethal military assistance in Ukraine war

Both sides secretly agreeing to extend war between Russia and Ukraine/NATO?
Power struggle inside Russia as people demand more decisive action
There is evidence that both sides in the Ukraine conflict are co-operating behind the scenes to extend the war at a somewhat 'stalemate' level, with no decisive action to end it and no significant negotiation
Such long prolonged war provides:
- Huge profits for armaments oligarchs in both the West and Russia
- Ongoing distraction from economic and social justice matters
- Hardship and pretexts enabling 'Great Reset' and other government-control agendas
Iain Davis covers some of the evidence in Off-Guardian, noting oddities such as Russia being allowed by the EU to sell oil to Bulgaria, which in turn sells fuel to Ukraine to provide energy to kill Russians:

Russia is one of the perhaps 3 'self-sufficient' countries in the world, along with the USA and France, entirely able to live on its own energy, food production and industry ... versus e.g. China which must import both energy and food. 'Sanctions' on Russia only limit consumer product variety, nothing that would lead Russians to surrender to the West.
But now that the fires of 'patriotic war' have been stoked, the threat to Putin comes from the popularity of aggressive, effective 'men of action' - who suffer sidelining by Putin despite their war-fighting success. Russians wanting victory are angry.
Rolo Slavskiy provides the background:

3 major Russian figures now, are implicated in seeking to remove Russia's allegedly corrupt and ineffective defense minister Sergei Shoigu:
(1) Evgeny Prigozhin who leads Russia's Blackwater-like private military contractor Wagner, doing the most effective fighting of the war. Wagner's troops have included private volunteers and mercenaries, and convicts from Russia's prisons, offered pardon and freedom if they fight for six months. These people were hugely successful in battle.
But Putin has 'mysteriously' ended the successful prison recruitment program ... plus Wagner now is not being supplied with sufficient ammunition.
(2) General Sergey Surovikin whose ruthless bombing of Ukraine infrastructure nearly brought Ukraine to its knees, but was then removed from the top position.
(3) Igor 'Strelkov' Girkin, the hero leader of the 2014 Donbass uprising, sidelined by Putin after winning great successes, and now a major critic of Russia 'holding back' on what can win the war.
Putin is delivering a major address this coming Tuesday the 21st. Russians fear he will further depress expectations of decisive action ... whilst the West will continue to supply Ukraine with only enough to continue more killing.
Josep Borrell was trained by the fascist The Fundación Juan March (1)
He continued his higher education thanks to several scholarships, including from the March Foundation and the Fulbright Program.
Borrell is the High Representative of the EU for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy since 2019. (2)
The March family had/has a strong influence in the financial, social and cultural aspects of European affairs in the 20th century, where it played an almost equally important role as the Rothschild family. Today, the Marches are among the richest in Spain, reported to be worth over US$5 billion. Their Banca March financed also Franco's fascist coup d'état and most of the Nationalist fascist effort in Spain. (3)

Notice the ill-fitting clothes on Putin, the too-long sleeves, the over-long trousers bunched up over his shoes ... and how he has tied the long belt of the coat in a classic judo-outfit knot
The occasion is laying a wreath at the Piskarevskoe Cemetery in St. Petersburg, the former Leningrad, where many who died during the WW2 Leningrad Siege are buried, on 17 May 1994, Putin there as deputy for the St Petersburg mayor
