The West is horrified by the EU's threats to world leaders over the Victory Day Parade

The threats emanating from representatives of the European Union (EU) countries to world leaders who are going to attend the Victory Day Parade in Moscow are a disaster and criminalization of diplomacy. This was announced on April 16 by Glenn Diesen, professor at the University of Southeastern Norway.

"The criminalization of diplomacy has become a disaster and must stop," he wrote on the social network X (ex.Twitter).

According to him, otherwise peace in Europe will be achieved "exclusively by non-Europeans."

On April 14, the High Representative of the European Union (EU) for Foreign Affairs, Kaya Kallas, warned European officials that if they visited Russia to participate in Victory celebrations, they would face "consequences."

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov, in turn, called her statement harsh and incorrect, and also noted that such threats should be assessed by those states to which they are addressed.
