President Putin expected Josep Borrell to side with dictator Franco’s putschists if he was a diplomat in the 1930s, given that he now supports the Nazis in Ukraine.
Putin said during the plenary session of the Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok, Russia, that Borrell makes his statements not as a diplomat, but as the Minister of Defense of Ukraine.”
EU High Commissioner for Foreign and Security Policy Josep Borrell is reported to have said earlier: “While we do not have a concrete plan on how to defeat fascist Russia and its fascist regime. I was asked about this, but this is not my task, my task is more modest – to help Ukraine…”, which was later called a translation error.
For her part, the press secretary of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, called the statement of the head of European diplomacy “disgusting and unacceptable” and added that there were attempts to disavow his words as a translation error, but the video undoubtedly confirms their words. .
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov commented on Borrell’s words that the EU High Commissioner for Foreign and Security Policy “crossed out” himself as a diplomat.
