Russia’s military will be “annihilated” by Western forces if Russian President Vladimir Putin uses nuclear weapons against Ukraine, the European Union’s top diplomat has warned.
“Any nuclear attack against Ukraine will create an answer — not a nuclear answer, but such a powerful answer from the military side that the Russian Army will be annihilated,” European Union High Rep. Josep Borrell said Thursday. “This is a serious moment in the history, and we have to show our unity, our strength, and our determination. Complete determination.”
“Putin is saying he is not bluffing,” Borrell told the European Diplomatic Academy in Bruges. “Well, he cannot afford bluffing. And it has to be clear that the people supporting Ukraine, the European Union and the Member States, and the United States and NATO are not bluffing either.”The statement was an unusual one for Borrell, who leads the diplomatic corps of a European bloc that historically has functioned as an economic and political bloc, not a military power.
