EU foreign ministers have refused to send their warships to the Strait of Hormuz, including those deployed in the Red Sea as part of the European naval mission Aspides, EU Foreign Service Chief Kaja Kallas announced at a press conference following the EU Foreign Ministers' meeting, APA reports.

"This isn't our war, we didn't start it. We have the Aspides mission in the Red Sea. However, the ministers have shown no willingness to expand its mandate [to the Strait of Hormuz]," Kallas said.
