Russian President Vladimir Putin’s threats of nuclear weapons are completely unacceptable and inappropriate. This was stated today by a spokesperson of the European Commission at a press conference in response to a question related to Putin’s annual address to the two chambers of the parliament in Moscow.
Putin’s speech is part of his re-election bid and is another example of an attempt to shift blame for the start of the war in Ukraine, the spokesman said. He added that Russian actions in Ukraine have so far been a failure, BTA writes.
Asked about Transnistria’s request for help from Russia due to “pressure” from Moldova, the spokesperson indicated that the EC is following the events very carefully and expressed hope for a peaceful solution between Chisinau and Tiraspol. Stability in the region is in the common interest, we encourage both sides to engage in constructive talks and we believe that the Moldovan authorities will do everything in their power to find a solution, he noted. The EU supports a peaceful settlement of the frozen conflict in Transnistria, which is part of Moldova, the spokesman added.
