Robles believes that the Spanish are not aware of the "total" threat from Russia: "The global situation is very complicated"

MADRID, 17 Mar. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The Minister of Defense, Margarita Robles, has made a call to attention to Spanish society because she believes that it is not aware of the "enormous" danger that currently exists, due to the "total and absolute" threat from Russia to the European Union. .

"The situation in the world is very complicated," he stated this Sunday in an interview with 'La Vanguardia', reported by Europa Press, in which he warned that "today, a ballistic missile can perfectly reach Spain from Russia." .

The minister points out that Europe must be aware that the danger is "very close", something that the countries bordering Russia perceive "very well." "The threat is total and absolute. You only have to listen to Putin's latest statements, in which he talks about the possibility of nuclear aggression. The countries bordering Russia perceive it very well; perhaps those of us in the south do not have that awareness, but civilization can be attacked by unscrupulous people like Putin," he indicated.

Robles blames the PP for not having a position of support in this regard because "they always try to seek criticism." "I have always said that defense policies are State policies and I would like the Popular Party to support the Government on this issue because we are committed to the democratic values ​​of the European Union," he assured.

The minister believes that Ukraine is in a "very difficult" moment and emphasizes that it needs to continue to have support, while insisting that "Spanish troops are not and will not be in Ukraine." "We are constantly sending material to Ukraine and we will make an important effort in the coming weeks," she said.

Likewise, he points out that the "big loser" of the war is Putin because "he thought that in ten days he would defeat the Zelensky regime." "That has not been achieved," he stressed, before admitting that two years have passed and that "every day the situation is more difficult for Ukraine than for Russia." "But I see that Ukrainian morale is very high," he points out.
