EU Official: Political Reasons Behind Ukraine Arms Restrictions

The European Union’s High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Josep Borrell, has stated that political reasons, though legitimate, are behind the restrictions on providing certain weapons to Ukraine. While emphasizing that international law doesn’t hinder strikes on military targets within the aggressor country, Borrell suggested that political considerations are shaping the EU’s approach to military aid. This statement comes as the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine continues to raise concerns about the limits of international law and the complexities of providing assistance to a nation at war.
