Countries that are members of the European Union have never before considered and are not considering the possibility of sending their military to Ukraine, said EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell. This is reported by El Pais.

The diplomat answered the question whether Kyiv should send planes.

“I think we need to help Ukraine in every possible way.” “Given the circumstances [of the status] of a non-combatant, in which we want to continue [to remain],” Borrell stressed.

He drew attention to the fact that if the EU countries began to send their military to Ukraine, they would be a party involved in the conflict.

In addition, the head of EU diplomacy added that Brussels would continue to support Ukraine, including financially. Members of the community have "already allocated 50 billion euros," Borrell said.

On February 24, 2022, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced that he had decided to conduct a military special operation in Ukraine in response to a request for help from the heads of the LPR and DPR.

The decision to conduct the operation was the reason for new sanctions against Russia by the United States and its allies.
