ROME – “According to the law of war, there is no contradiction in fighting against those who fight me. The risk of escalation must be considered but must be balanced with the Ukrainians’ need to defend themselves. So it is an asymmetric situation , with the attacks on Kiev coming from Russian territory”, Thus the EU High Representative for Foreign Policy Josep Borrell, this morning, openly aligned himself with the words spoken by Stoltenberg last Saturday, stating that Ukraine must be able to defend itself. Words that agitate the world of politics and that strengthen the fear of a third world war.
KREMLIN: ACT AGAINST WESTERN MILITARIST FRENESY
“The rabid militaristic frenzy of the Westerners is beginning to prevail; we must take measures, maintain our position and continue the special military operation“: this was said today by Dmitrij Peskov, spokesman for the Russian presidency, in reference to the conflict in Ukraine. His statements were made to the Moscow newspaper Izvestija and relaunched by the Novosti news agency. Peskov spoke after both the Secretary General of NATO, Jens Stoltenberg, and the High Representative for Foreign and Security Policy of the EU, Josep Borrell, intervened on the possibility of using armaments delivered by the Atlantic Alliance in Kiev against “targets” located on Russian territory.
Peskov added: “The situation is getting worse”. “Special military operation” is the name given by Moscow to the armed intervention that began in Ukraine in February 2022.
UKRAINE. SALVINI: FREAKING ‘BOMBAROLO’ STATEMENTS BORRELL
For his part, the leader of the League Salvini commented on the statements of ‘Borrell’ on social media, defining him as a reckless ‘bomber’: “I find the statements of Borrell, Spanish socialist and ‘minister’ of Foreign Affairs of European Union. It is another of those ‘bombers’ (quote by De André), who would like the weapons sent to Ukraine to defend itself to be used to attack Russian territory, risking dangerous escalations >He doesn’t speak in my name, he doesn’t speak in the name of the Italian people. Anyone who is unconscious about the Third World War is dangerous for himself and for others”.
CONTE: BORRELL? THEY WANT TO SEND TROOPS, CLOSE TO THE THIRD WORLD WAR
This morning Giuseppe Conte also expressed his concern, saying during a press point in front of Palazzo Madama: “We take note of Borrell’s statements in full line with those of NATO secretary Stoltenberg which also echo those of Macron want to send troops, there is a lack of fighters in Ukraine and they want NATO weapons to be used on Russian territory We are on the brink of the third world war. Now we are voting and they don’t want it say, a moment later you will see that they will say it. We say no and we say it from the beginning.”
