MADRID 9 Nov. () –

The High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Josep Borrell, arrived in kyiv this Saturday in what will be his fifth visit since the beginning of the Russian invasion of the country, in February 2022, and the last as EU diplomatic chief before former Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas succeeds him.

“The European Union’s support for Ukraine has been a personal priority during my mandate and will continue to be at the top of the European agenda,” Borrell said in a message published on the X social network.

Borrell’s mandate will likely end at the end of the month if the new Executive of the President of the European Commission, Ursula Von der Leyen, passes the European Parliament’s examination in time to take office on December 1.

Kallas will succeed Borrell, if everything goes as expected by Von der Leyen, in the culmination of a gesture towards the liberal family of the European Parliament, which with the exception of Charles Michel as President of the Council had not held any ‘top job’ for some time. two decades.
