"Many member states express support to the [Ukraine's] Kursk operation as part of Ukraine's inherent right to self-defense in accordance with the United Nations Charter... We have a lot of information about the situation in the battlefield, how the Kursk operation [of Ukraine] is changing the frontline... I told the countries about the need to increase the supply of military equipment," EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell told a press conference following the informal meeting of EU Ministers of Foreign Affairs.
Borrell believes that the importance of a diplomatic approach to resolving the crisis in Ukraine is increasing, but the EU is considering only Volodymyr Zelensky's plan.
Yet, the EU foreign ministers did not make a single decision on lifting the restrictions on Kiev's strikes with European weapons on the territory of Russia, he said.
"The ministers discussed the lifting of limits for the range of use of the arms provided to Ukraine. At the end, the conclusion is mainly that this is a national decision and the member states want to keep it as a national decision... Some member states do not send any kind of arms," Borrell noted.
