Josep Borrell: Russia has no interest in negotiating ceasefire in Ukraine, everything will be decided in the next 15 days

The Russian government has no interest in negotiating a ceasefire in Ukraine for now as its army has not reached its military goals, EU's HR/VP Josep Borrell was quoted as saying by Reuters.

"Right now, Russia doesn't want to sit and negotiate anything: what it wants is to occupy the ground.

It wants to surround the coast to the border with Moldova and isolate Ukraine from the sea. It wants to negotiate in earnest only when it has secured a position of strength," Borrell said in an interview with Spanish TVE channel, according to Reuters.

According to Borrell, EU and its allies will keep on delivering military aid to the Ukrainian army.

"It is important because everything will be decided in the next 15 days.

What will make history is the capacity of Ukrainians to resist," he said.
