Borrell's warning: War in Europe is no longer a fantasy

The EU's foreign policy chief, Joseph Borrell, has warned that war in Europe is no longer a fantasy.

"Europe must prepare for a possible war. A full-scale conflict on the continent beyond Ukraine is no longer a fantasy," warned the EU's top diplomat.

Borrell said Russia threatens Europe through its ongoing war in Ukraine and hybrid attacks on EU member states.

"The war is certainly approaching around us. A high-intensity, conventional war in Europe is no longer a fantasy," he said.

The head of EU foreign policy added that the Union needs a new intergovernmental financing tool, comparable to the one created during the financial crisis in the eurozone.
