The European Union believes that the Kremlin leader’s speech is an attempt to distort known facts about the war against Ukraine.
Russian President Vladimir Putin’s speech at the Valdai discussion club drew sharp criticism from the European Union. In particular, it was considered an attempt to distort the real facts of Russia’s war against Ukraine and present far-fetched accusations in Ukraine to cover up the criminal intentions of the Kremlin itself. This is what EU representative Nabila Massrali said on Friday, October 28, in Brussels during a briefing at the European Commission.
“For me, the speech of President Putin is like (novel 1984 – ed.) Orwell. In this speech of Putin, the wrong is true, and the right is wrong. In his speech, the truth is not true, and the false is true. Let me recall some facts “The truth is that Russia is waging a criminal and unjustified war of aggression against Ukraine. The truth is that these Russian troops are behind atrocities and war crimes against the civilian population in Ukraine, against women and children. ,” he emphasized.
According to him, Russia continues to commit violations of international law and is actually trying to destroy the UN Charter.
“As for Russia’s accusations, Ukraine seems to be making a “dirty bomb”, what can I say?.. The truth is that Russia already has a certain history of baseless accusations to cover itself its actions. Russia’s allegations earlier this year that Ukraine was allegedly developing biological weapons in an attempt to justify Russia’s criminal aggression,” the official recalled.
Russia, then and now, cannot substantiate its accusations with any evidence, the EU representative said.
“If it wasn’t for Russia, this war wouldn’t have happened, and this is a fact. The fact is that Russia can end this war right now if it withdraws all its forces and military equipment from all the territories of Ukraine in within its internationally recognized borders,” Massrali summarized.
