EU's Borrell visits Odessa, reiterates support for Ukraine

The European Union's top diplomat, Josep Borrell, visited Odessa on an unannounced visit on Saturday, according to Ukrainskaia Pravda. In a post on Twitter, Borrell said that Odessa is a beautiful historic city that should be in the news for its culture, not as a target of Putin's war.

Borrell reiterated the EU's support for Ukraine in rebuilding infrastructure that has been destroyed by Russia, saying that the bloc will stand with the Ukrainian people "for as long as it takes."

Borrell also visited Chisinau, Moldova, on Friday, where he met with President Maia Sandu. The official expressed confidence in the ability of Moldovan institutions to continue to address the secondary effects of Russia's aggression against Ukraine, according to a statement from the European Union delegation in the country.
