Borrell: Ukraine should not ask for help from the West as it was given to Israel in the attack on Iran

It will be recalled that the Western administrations of the United States, Britain and France announced that they cooperated with the Defense Forces of the Zionist regime of Israel (IDF) on Saturday to shoot down some missiles and drones of Iran that were heading towards the military bases of the regime. Tel Aviv. When the announcement was made, Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky has been calling on Washington and its allies to do the same for his country.

In opposing the request, Borrell explained that, "Iran's attacks were carried out over the air bases of the French, American, British and Jordanian forces. They passed over their bases, so they took defensive measures".

Regarding the issue of Kiev, the Head of the EU's Foreign Policy has said: "There are no air bases of the United Kingdom or the United States, and more of Jordan, of course, on the territory of Ukraine or in the area where Russian missiles pass over it. Therefore, no answer can be given because the conditions themselves are not right".

When asked by journalists if the European Union as an institution participated in protecting the Zionist regime and Iran's attacks, Borrell said, the union was not directly involved, because it is not a government and does not have an army, but some of its members participated in doing so. ../
