The statement was shared during an interview published in the Spanish daily El Pais on Tuesday, May 09, 2023.
The declaration comes as the leaders of Russia and Ukraine marked the end of World War II by calling for victory.
During the Red Square Victory Day parade in Moscow, Russian President Vladimir Putin alleged that a “war” had been unleashed against Russia and declared that the world was at a “turning point”. The day before, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky promised that Russian forces would be defeated “just as Nazism was defeated.”
