The EU needs guarantee security for Kyiv: Kulbergs

(ANSA) - BELGRADE, 13 NOV - "Europe needs to develop some guts. We are larger, militarily stronger, and superior in every economic aspect," Latvian Prime Minister Andris Kulbergs said upon arriving at the informal EU leaders' summit in Dublin. "Look at Russia: it is incapable of conquering a country as small—in terms of both land area and population—as Ukraine, which has demonstrated tremendous courage and has held out for five years. And yet, during our discussions, Russia raises issues that we are expected to accept? I'm sorry, but no. It is the aggressor who is losing on the front lines," the Prime Minister stressed. He went on to say that the EU should "raise its ambitions" in terms of security guarantees for Kyiv and assert more firmly that Europe will ensure Ukraine's future security. (ANSA).
