Russia has accused Belgian Defense Minister Theo Francken of irresponsible rhetoric after he suggested that NATO could “wipe Moscow off the map.”<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

In an interview reported in the De Morgen newspaper on Monday, Francken brushed off concerns that the currently shelved delivery of US-made Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine could trigger an all-out war between Russia and NATO.<\/p>\n

He claimed that Russian President Vladimir Putin would not use nuclear weapons because the US-led bloc “will wipe Moscow off the map,”<\/em> and that a conventional attack on Brussels would also result in Moscow getting “flattened.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Aleksandr Grushko told RBK on Wednesday that Francken’s words were in line with “the atmosphere of military psychosis”<\/em> prevalent in Western Europe.<\/p>\n

The Russian Embassy in Belgium similarly condemned Francken’s “provocative and irresponsible”<\/em> statements as “sheer absurdity and total disconnect from reality.”<\/em><\/p>\n

“Francken’s escapades are the most glaring manifestation of the militarist frenzy that is increasingly consuming the European war party,”<\/em> the embassy said. It added that EU officials like Francken are “posing a threat to the continent’s future and [are] capable of plunging it into a new war.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Russia has repeatedly stated that the flooding of Ukraine with Western weapons will not stop its troops but will only cause further escalation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
