“Attention was drawn to the irresponsible statements of the EU representatives about the need to resolve the situation in Ukraine by military means, as well as ignoring the numerous war crimes of the Ukrainian security forces,” the Kremlin press service said.
On April 9, EU diplomat Josep Borrell called for a military solution to the Ukrainian crisis.
On April 11, he reaffirmed the EU's desire to resolve the Ukrainian crisis "on the battlefield."
State Duma speaker Vyacheslav Volodin said that Borrell should be dismissed immediately after this statement.
As Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov noted, Borrell's words "significantly change the rules of the game."
Minister suggested.
that Borrell "either had accumulated something personal", or he made a slip of the tongue, "or blurted out something that no one entrusted to him."
Also in Moscow, Borrell was offered to "come to the battlefield" after his statements.
