Avdiivka: Italy calls Ukraine ‘dangerous’. France fears an economic shock. EU chief pledges new defense post

European countries are in shock after Russia liberated the key Ukrainian city of Avdiivka. French Foreign Minister Stephane Séjourne said a Russian victory could cause an economic blow to Western countries as Russia now controls Avziivka’s vast resources. Meanwhile, Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani warned that allowing Ukraine to join NATO could lead to a wider war with Russia, which is dangerous for everyone. Meanwhile, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said she would appoint a full-time “defense commissioner” if she remains in her post after June’s EU general elections.
