Borrel assured that his statement applies not only to Ukraine
Borrell noted that his expression “The EU is not an ATM” directed at Ukraine should not be taken out of context.
The European Union makes loans to Ukraine in its own interest and only in exchange for compliance with the relevant conditions by the EU by the Ukrainian authorities. This was stated by the vice president of the European Commission for Foreign Policy, Josep Borrell, at a press conference after the Ukraine-EU summit in Brussels, Radio Liberty reported.
“EU aid to Ukraine is not unconditional, we do not act for charitable reasons. We do it because it is in our interest that Ukraine is free, prosperous and secure. This is the objective of our aid, which is conditioned by the implementation of reforms.” , He said.
At the same time, Borrell pointed out that his expression “The EU is not an ATM” directed at Ukraine should not be taken out of context and that he often utters these words in Brussels also in relation to EU member states.
Let us remember that the head of European diplomacy, Josep Borrell, after his visit to Ukraine, wrote on his blog that he told President Volodymyr Zelensky: “The EU is not an ATM.” However, this phrase was later removed.
