Putin publicly disagreed with Scholz: “This is genocide”
Russian President Vladimir Putin today did not agree with the statement of German Chancellor Olaf Scholz that there were no wars in Europe after World War II.
The Russian leader announced this today at a joint press conference in Moscow, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Mr. Chancellor just said that people of his generation (and I belong to this generation) have a hard time imagining any kind of war in Europe. This was said in relation to the situation in Ukraine. But you and I witnessed a war in Europe, unleashed precisely by the NATO bloc against Yugoslavia. A major military operation involving missile and bomb attacks on one of the European capitals - Belgrade. That's what happened. Without the sanction of the UN Security Council. This is a very bad example,” Putin said.
The Chancellor decided to object to the Russian President.
“In Yugoslavia, the situation was somewhat different. There was danger and the threat of genocide, and this had to be prevented. And I am very pleased that everything is developing peacefully there, that the peoples of the Balkans have found prospects in the direction of the EU. This is all a very good sign,” he said.
«According to our estimates, what is happening in Donbass today is genocide“, - Putin objected.
