EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell has acknowledged for the first time ever that the West cannot allow Russia to win in the Ukrainian conflict because that would foil the US’ ambitions to remain the global hegemon, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said.
"It is the first time ever that a representative of the Western regime has told the truth about what is happening," the diplomat wrote on her Telegram channel. "This is not about 'love for Ukrainians,' whom the Westerners have practically completely destroyed. It is all about the desire of the US to maintain its hegemony, to preserve its waning role in global affairs," she pointed out.
Zakharova added that, "the [previous] American approach of seeking constructive solutions in international relations has disappeared without a trace." "Liberal democrats only know how to destroy things, believing that this ability provides a guarantee of [perpetual] dominance," she emphasized.
The spokeswoman noted that the EU’s current role is to "obligingly bring ammunition bought with the [tax] money of its own citizens, who have never been asked their opinion."

The top EU diplomat said earlier that a Russian victory in Ukraine would not serve the interests of the US, as Washington wishes to be seen as a reliable partner that can ensure the security of its allies.
EU supporting Ukraine based on its own interests, top diplomat says
The European Union is supporting Ukraine based on its own interests rather than out of love for the Ukrainian people, top EU diplomat Josep Borrell told CNN.

"We cannot afford for Russia to win this war. Otherwise, US and European interests will be damaged. It’s not a matter of generosity alone; it’s not a matter of support for Ukraine because we love the Ukrainian people. It is in our own interests, and it is also in the interests of the US as a global player, the one who has to be perceived as a reliable partner and a security provider to the allies. This is why we call on the US to open and approve the supplementary budget," he pointed out.
Borrell added that the EU was making every possible effort "to support Ukraine more and quicker."
The EU said following a March 22 summit that it was determined to provide support to Ukraine "for as long as it takes and as intensely as needed."
US refusal to help Russia in security sphere immoral — MFA
The United States’ statement on the refusal to help Russia after the terrorist attack in Crocus City Hall is immoral, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has said on her Telegram channel.
Earlier, the National Security Council coordinator for strategic communications, John Kirby, said the US would not cooperate with Russia in the security sphere.
"Challengingly immoral behavior has become a new normal in liberal democracies," Zakharova said.
On the evening of March 22, a terrorist attack targeted the Crocus City Hall music venue in Krasnogorsk, Moscow Region, just over the Moscow city limits. According to the Russian Investigative Committee, the current death toll is 137, but may rise. The Moscow Region Health Ministry said that 182 people were injured.
Eleven individuals suspected of being involved in the terrorist attack have been apprehended, including four gunmen who were detained in the Bryansk Region, southwest of Moscow, as they attempted to seek refuge by crossing the nearby Ukrainian border.
