Russia is looking for its benefits in the wars in Ukraine and the Middle East. This was stated by EU High Representative Josep Borrell before the start of the meeting of the EU Council of Foreign Ministers in Luxembourg.
"The Ukrainian war and this war in the Middle East have different causes, but both of them are causing shock waves around the world, and probably Russia is benefiting from this situation," Borrell said.
In his opinion, EU foreign ministers should discuss ways to continue the peaceful political process in the Middle East, as the Palestinian issue cannot be resolved by itself and requires international efforts and initiatives, including those discussed at the UN General Assembly.
Borrell said that the first issue that the ministers will consider at the meeting of the Council of Ministers of the EU on foreign affairs will be the acceleration of the supply of European humanitarian aid to the population of the Gaza Strip.
"And Ukraine. We must not forget about Ukraine. There are ongoing battles. This topic will also be on the agenda," said the EU High Representative.
