Sanctions against Russia are needed to weaken the aggressor, but cannot stop the troops in the short term, Draghi added. Therefore, according to the head of government, Ukrainians need to be helped directly with weapons.
"To not do so would be tantamount to telling them: surrender, accept slavery and subjugation – a message that runs counter to our European values of solidarity. Instead, we want to allow Ukrainians to defend themselves," Draghi said.
Draghi admitted that at first he thought Russia would gain a quick victory, but now "there are no signs that the Ukrainian people will be able to accept the Russian occupation."
