KYIV, Feb 4 – Vladimir Putin is applying more efforts than ever to win the war against Ukraine, and the EU must speed up the immediate deliveries of weapons and ammunitions to Ukraine, President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen has said on Tuesday.

"Putin is trying harder than ever to win this war on the ground. His goal remains Ukraine's capitulation. And the we know what could happen next, because it has already happened before. He would move on to the next target, just like he did after 2008 and 2014. It is not only the destiny of Ukraine that is at stake. It's Europe's destiny. It is our first priority that we empower Ukraine's resistance," she said during the EU Ambassadors Conference.
