EU says it will help Jordan deal with new economic pressures since Ukraine war – The National

The European Union’s top diplomat on Thursday promised to help Jordan cope with new economic pressures since the war in Ukraine, but said that Russia is responsible for creating them.

“Putin is responsible for aggravating the food and energy crisis,” said Josep Borrell, High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs, referring to the Russian president.

“But we are ready to help Jordan face the negative consequences, especially on food prices,” he said after meeting Jordan's King Abdullah in Amman.
