During the press conference, Borrell even slipped that the EU will support bloc countries sending combat aircraft to Ukraine.
“We are even going to send combat planes. We’re not just talking about ammunition. We are providing more important weaponry for a war,” he said.
Borrell explained that Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba “had mentioned the need for planes that Ukrainians can fly.” “Certain members of the EU have those planes,” he said.
The head of EU diplomacy welcomed an offer made by Poland to serve as a delivery platform for all this war material to Ukraine through the common border.
In addition to making these funds available for the purchase of weapons, the European foreign ministers reached a political agreement to block the transactions of the Russian Central Bank.
With this measure “more than half of the reserves of the Russian Central Bank will be paralyzed, since they are kept in establishments in G7 countries,” the official said at a press conference.
Borrell added that the EU decided to “close the airspace to Russian aircraft. Not a single Russian aircraft will be able to land or take off from a runway on European territory.”
Indeed, this Sunday, several countries announced in sequence the closure of their airspace to Russian aircraft, but Borrell reinforced that it is a decision of the bloc as a whole.
