🇪🇺 In Brussels, the European Union's foreign ministers gathered on Monday, and things got heated! 🔥 The hot topic? Ukraine's right to use U.S. long-range missiles to strike inside Russia. 🎯
Josep Borrell, the EU high representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, dropped a bombshell (figuratively speaking! 😉) confirming that Ukraine has been given the green light by the U.S. to strike targets up to 300 km deep into Russian territory.
The ministers chatted about military and financial support for Ukraine, but when it came to lifting weapon restrictions, they were totally split. 🤔 Borrell admitted, \"Today, in particular, there has been no position on this. Each country makes its own decision.\"
Germany's Chancellor Olaf Scholz stood his ground, reiterating that he won't be sending Ukraine the Taurus long-range missiles. 🛑 Meanwhile, Hungary's Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto didn't hold back, calling the U.S. approval for Ukraine's use of long-range missiles an \"extremely dangerous\" move that could escalate the conflict. 😬 He shared his concerns on Facebook, emphasizing the risks involved.
It's clear the EU is divided on how to proceed, and the stakes are higher than ever. Will they find common ground, or will these differences widen the gap? Stay tuned! 📺
