The High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Policy and Security, Josep Borrell, said that war in Europe is on the horizon.
“We imagined being in a world with a circle of friends after the fall of the Berlin Wall, and that was replaced by a ring of fire between us, instability from the Sahel to the Middle East, the Caucasus and the Baltics, not to look deeper into Africa. A ring of fire around us,” he said during the “New Economy” Forum in Madrid.
He noted that this is now a very important moment in the construction of Europe because war is on the horizon and it is not a small matter.
According to him, the best way to strengthen NATO is to increase European defense capacities.
“The EU will not have a common army in the foreseeable future, and defense will remain the responsibility of the members,” noted Borrell.
He warned that the possibility of a high-intensity conventional war in Europe “is no longer a fantasy”, Srna reports.
