KYIV: EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell in Kyiv on Saturday pledged “unwavering” support for Ukraine, on the first visit by a top Brussels official after Donald Trump’s poll win. The volatile Republican’s victory in the United States election has set nerves jangling in Ukraine and Europe that Trump could end Washington’s support for Kyiv’s fight against Russia’s invasion. “The clear purpose of this visit is to express European Union support to Ukraine — this support remains unwavering,” Borrell, who is set to leave office next month, told journalists. “This support is absolutely needed for you to continue defending yourself against Russia aggression.” On the campaign trail, Trump cast doubt on maintaining the vast US military and financial aid to Ukraine and said he could cut a quick deal to end the war. “Nobody knows exactly what the new administration is going to do,” Borrell said, pointing out that Joe Biden still has two months in power to make decisions. “We have to do more and faster, more military support, more training capacities, more money, faster supplies, and also the permission to strike the enemy on its military targets on its territory,” Borrell said. He added that Russia’s President Vladimir Putin “doesn’t want to negotiate and will not negotiate unless he is forced to do it”. Europe together has spent around $125 billion on supporting Ukraine since Russia’s 2022 invasion, while the United States alone has coughed up more than $90 billion, according to a tracker from the Kiel Institute. Keeping Washington, Ukraine’s single biggest donor, onboard is seen by most as key for ensuring Kyiv can fight back, especially at a time of political uncertainty in major European powers Germany and France.
