Croatian President Zoran Milanović condemned German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock’s extremist statements at the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) this week that Europe is “fighting a war against Russia.”
“Now, the German Foreign Minister says we must be united, because I quote, we are at war with Russia. I didn’t know that. Maybe Germany is at war with Russia, but then, good luck, maybe this time it turns out better than 70-odd years ago,” Milanović quipped referring to the failed Nazi invasion of Russia during World War II.
The German Foreign Minister has been one of the most outspoken advocates for escalating the conflict in Ukraine. She told the EU assembly on Tuesday that “we have to do more to defend Ukraine. Yes, we have to do more also on tanks…. we are fighting a war against Russia and not against each other.”
