'From Lisbon to Luhansk' — EU Will Expand into Russian-Controlled Territory of Ukraine, Vows German Foreign Minister

German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock declared on Monday during a visit to Kyiv that the European Union will extend its borders into areas of Ukraine that are occupied by Russia, vowing that the EU will span from "Lisbon to Luhansk".

Despite the much-touted Ukrainian Spring counteroffensive having failed to regain much ground this year before the winter sets in, German Foreign Minister Baerbock expressed certain confidence the coming years would absolutely see the Russian occupation comprehensively rolled back.

Speaking from Kyiv at a meeting between the foreign ministers of the 27 European Union member states and President Zelensky, Baerbock said: "With this Foreign Affairs Council meeting in Kyiv we are bringing the European Union to where the heart of Europe is currently beating most strongly. The future of Ukraine lies in the European Union, our community of freedom. This will soon stretch from Lisbon to Luhansk.

"With every village, every metre that Ukraine liberates, it smooths its way towards the European Union, metre by metre. And we as European partners and friends will continue to support Ukraine in this endeavour, day by day."

The remarks were clear support for Ukraine, possibly supported by the Union, reclaiming the breakaway Donbas region of Luhansk (Lugansk) that was annexed by Moscow over a year ago and has been militarily occupied by Russia since 2014, nearly a decade.

The comments from the German minister ruffled feathers in Moscow, which claims the Luhansk region as its own after holding a referendum in the region on coming under the Kremlin's umbrella last year, the result of which Kyiv and most Western observers rejected given that it was conducted while Russian forces controlled the area.

The Russians have been rather paranoid about western expansion towards their borders. Understandable since the Germans came calling in 1941. Now I don't believe that either NATO or the EU would have been overly interested in corrupt Ukraine had Russia not extended on their Crimea land grab. This sort of talk just doesn't help and gives their claims that the west were encroaching more credence.

If the EU Empire should actually expand into Ukraine, we should immediately withdraw from NATO and let the EU fight its own battles.  Hopefully America would also withdraw its support.

I have every confidence that the EU would quickly withdraw!
