 European Union warns Russian victory in conflict will have serious consequences for U.S. and Europe. A Ukrainian loss to Russia would hurt Washington's credibility as a security provider. The European Union's high representative for foreign affairs and security policy, Josep Borrell, warned during a trip to America, Kiev can't wait for the presidential election in the U.S. to get more aid, he added. Borrell spoke to the press in Washington after meeting senior U.S. officials, including Secretary of State Antony Blinken. He said his message was that Ukraine badly needed the additional assistance which was currently blocked in the U.S. House. The next months will be decisive. Many analysts expect a major Russian offensive this summer, and Ukraine cannot wait until the result of the next U.S. elections. Brussels' top diplomat said, a Russian victory in the conflict will have enormous repercussions for America and for the system of alliances built around the U.S. and Europe, he added. Should that happen, no country could be sure anymore that Washington would come to help any ally under attack. Since Ukraine is not a NATO member, the U.S. is not bound by any obligation to defend it. U.S. President Joe Biden has pledged to help it fight Russia for as long as it takes to prevail. Last year, Ukrainian forces attempted to launch a major counter-offensive using Western-donated heavy weaponry but failed to score any significant territorial gains. Amid Kiev's battlefield failures, the issue of continued aid has become embroiled in U.S. parties and politics. The Republican-controlled House has blocked Biden's request for an additional $60 billion in assistance with Speaker Mike Johnson arguing that the White House was unable to present a convincing strategy for achieving victory in Ukraine. Borrel pledged the European Union's continued military support for Kiev but said the U.S. needed to pull its weight too. Moscow perceives the Ukraine conflict as a U.S.-led proxy war against Russia and has stated that it is risking far more than the West.
