In response to the geopolitical impact of Russia’s war on Ukraine, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen stated on Monday (25 April) that Russia and China’s unconstrained collaboration is gradually becoming a threat to the Indo-Pacific area.
“Countries battered by two years of COVID-19 pandemic must deal now with rising prices for grain, energy, and fertilizers as a direct result of Putin’s war of choice,” Von der Leyen said at the Raisina Dialogue in Delhi.
Europe will make sure that Russia’s ‘unprovoked and unjustified” aggression against Ukraine will be a “strategic failure”, Von der Leyen said.
The EU Commission oversaw the imposition of extraordinary sanctions against Russia in the hopes of deterring the Kremlin’s hostility.
“We want a peaceful and prosperous Indo-Pacific. It must be free, open, interconnected, prosperous, with a rules-based security architecture that serves all interests,” the EU chief said.
