Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov. File photoRiyadh, Jun 1 Josep Borrell's words that the EU should become a military force reflect attempts by an aggressive minority in the EU to impose its Russophobic position on the majority, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said.» It's probably all a play on words, but there's no smoke without fire,» the minister said during a press conference following his visit to Saudi Arabia. » /> The European Union must learn the «language of power», Borrell said. He explained that in the EU «there is indeed an aggressive Russophobic wing, which for many years, in fact, imposed its position on everyone else, speculating on the principle of solidarity and the principle of consensus.» According to him, «this wing is now increasing its activity, namely, Borrell's statements, for all, of course, the inadequacy of the militant words that sound from the lips of the chief diplomat of the European Union, they reflect the trend imposed» by the aggressive minority on the entire European Union. According to the minister, the paramilitary structure of the EU will not be able to act autonomously and independently in a geostrategic sense. «A paramilitary alliance is their ideal, and not just a paramilitary EU as a strategically autonomous player, in any case. It is an appendage of the North Atlantic Alliance, this is not directly stated, but for all the facts it can be done the unequivocal conclusion that this is now the task of those who want to rally the West under the unquestioned command of Washington,» Lavrov concluded. depletion of EU military stocks due to assistance to Ukraine
