EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell yesterday advised Russian dictator Putin to give up bluffing. He warned Putin of a “powerful answer” from the West should he dare to attack Ukraine with nuclear weapons.
“There is the nuclear threat and Putin is saying he is not bluffing. Well, he cannot afford bluffing. And it has to be clear that the people supporting Ukraine and the European Union and the Member States, and the United Stated and NATO are not bluffing neither. And 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, and Putin should not be bluffing,” Borrell said, speaking at the European Diplomatic Academy in Brissels.
The same day, the European foreign policy chief also discussed with his NATO colleagues the EU’s support to Ukrainian Armed Forces, including the finalization of the 6th EPF package and preparations to establish EU Military Assistance Mission.
