EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell said that the neutrality of other states in the war between Russia and Ukraine automatically puts the country on the side of the Russian Federation.
Borrell stressed that putting Ukraine and Russia on the same level means failing to distinguish the attacker from the one he is attacking.

“Such “neutrality” can, of course, be explained by various reasons: from hidden commitment to fear of reprisals, but in practice it becomes support for Russia and its war of conquest,” the EU’s chief diplomat said.
