sputnik European Union (EU) diplomatic chief Josep Borrell is stoking tensions in the conflict over Ukraine that could plunge the world into nuclear war, Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro has said.
Previously, Borrell said he now feels more like EU defense minister than head of diplomacy. In his opinion, there are no prerequisites for a diplomatic solution to the conflict in Ukraine.
“Josep Borrell, are you going to lead us into a nuclear war? Because of your warrior mentality, you have to be a diplomat, you don’t know how to use a gun or a pistol, and you will keep talking about war, about an escalation of violence,” said the Venezuelan leader during the TV show Com Maduro+ “.
Maduro was referring to Borrell’s remarks in which he said it was not the time for diplomatic talks about peace, but for military support for Kiev, since he said that if this does not happen, “Ukraine will fall in a few days”. .
PROCEED TO RECOMMENDATIONS
“What is diplomacy for? for war? We ask Venezuela for military confrontation? The destruction of territories, peoples, countries to escalate armed violence? What is diplomacy for, Josep Borrell? each other and are looking for formulas for peace,” commented the Venezuelan President.
