The head of the parliamentary Committee on Foreign Policy and Interparliamentary Cooperation, People's Deputy from the Servant of the People faction, Oleksandr Merezhko, considers Russian President Vladimir Putin's statement that Russia is ready for war with Europe to be dangerous.
He said this in a comment to Censor.NET.
"This is a very transparent and quite obvious threat. Such things are typical for Russia even since the Soviet Union era — they have always threatened in exactly these formulations and in this way. They did not say directly: We are going to fight and are preparing for war. After all, in international law there is a principle, which, incidentally, is reflected in the UN Charter, prohibiting the use of force or the threat of force in international relations. Putin cannot openly state that he threatens to start a war against Europe. So he phrases it in such a way that everyone understands: this is a real threat, blackmail, and possibly an ultimatum. But so that it does not sound like a direct violation of the principle that forbids threatening with force in international relations," the deputy noted.
According to the politician, all European leaders understand that these threats pose a danger
