Josep Borrell, the EU foreign policy chief, visited Odesa, a Ukrainian port city, and witnessed the destruction caused by Russian attacks. Borrell promised urope would not abandon Ukraine in its war to recapture the regions in the south and east of the country. Russian President Vladimir Putin insisted that the residents of Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson regions had “made their choice — to be with their Fatherland.” Odesa’s old quarter and the historic Orthodox Cathedral of the Transfiguration near the port were badly damaged by a Russian bombardment in July. Harbor infrastructure that is key to Ukraine’s grain exports has also been hit recently. Will the visit change anything ?
