Europe needs to ‘get serious’ about threat posed to it by Russia, Ukraine minister says | Ukraine

Europe’s Deputy Foreign Minister said that Russia should be “serious” about the existential threat given to him.

In an interview with Guardian, Kyiv’s former Ambassador to UN, Sergiy Kyslytsya, said the Kremlin is already in war with Europe. The Minister said Russia’s latest drone attacks against several EU countries have been well calculated and attempted to “move red lines”.

“I’m sure Putin, who shows that he perceives the West as a small power, is becoming emotional, even if it is not physical satisfaction that insults the West, Ky Kyslytsya said that the Russian President’s reckless actions are faced with the risk of antagonizing a White House. “This is a boomerang,” Kyslytsya said.

What Russia did later depends on whether the European and Trump administration shows collective solutions. Without a decisive transatlantic reaction, Putin “increased rise” predicted with more actions designed to disrupt and paralyze the continent.

In recent weeks, Russia sent trap drones to Poland from the border and sent a fighter aircraft violating Estonia’s airspace. Munich and Copenhagen airports that contain drones that restrict flights, increased the fear of the participation of the Russians. Moscow rejected responsibility.

Kyslytsya claimed that Russia had leaked to EU countries with “agents and moles ve and said that she was responsible for drone flights at the Airports and Allied military bases in Denmark and Germany. Defined them condensive – Literally tin boxes in Ukraine – can be activated or “opening” by Moscow when necessary.

This week, Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelenskyy brought EU leaders together at a summit in Copenhagen, where Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said that Europe has faced the most difficult and dangerous situation since the end of the Second World War and that all countries have been affected by the “Russian hybrid war”.

Kyslytsya added that European leaders generally believe that they are often awakened to threat, but others, including experts and professionals in Western Europe, have not yet understood. Authorized, more training was needed to spread the message in the face of a ruthless and “unscrupulous enemy ..

“Many politicians are still in the patterns and algorithms of the last century, boats and tanks on the ground,” said Kyslytsya.

“You don’t need tanks to put technologically developed countries on their knees in the 21st century. Cyber ​​war is a fact. How is it not necessary to paralyze the banking system. By using drones in a wise way, you can reach your goals better than the core bomb.”

Speaking at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Kiev, Kyslytsya said that Ukraine’s relations with the US administration have recovered since the spring of Donald Trump in February of Zelenskyy during the two leading meeting of Oval Office. Kyslytsya said that Washington’s attitude towards war was “movement, and that Putin was a greater understanding by realizing that it was the biggest obstacle to peace.

In recent months, Ukraine has carried out a more successful campaign to cripple Russia’s oil production with long -range strikes using homemade drones. According to The Wall Street Journal, the United States agreed to share intelligence to assist Kiev’s depths in Russia this week.

In general, however, Trump took several concrete steps to put pressure on Moscow. When asked whether the US president’s threats are rather than real, Kyslystya said: “Trump holds a big stick. This is a success. We should not take the value of it. People forget where we were six months ago.”

The Deputy Foreign Minister claimed that although the Russian troops continued to progress in several parts of the battlefield, the war returned in favor of Ukraine. Positive changes in Washington, “more serious” discussions in Europe and Russia’s summer attack could not make a military breakthrough.

Kyslystya is one of the most influential communicators of the Ukrainian government known for its live social media tasks. Shortly after Putin’s full -scale invasion, when he read a book titled what diplomacy was wrong, there was a cult figure in Ukraine? Russia’s Ambassador of UN Vassily Nebenzia made a speech to the Security Council.
