PM Støre comments on Ukraine: “It’s obvious that Russian soldiers are massacring civilians”
Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre (AP) described the conduct of Russian soldiers in Ukraine as brutal.
“It is obvious that Russian soldiers committed massacres of Ukrainian civilians in several cities before or during the withdrawal,” Støre told the newspaper Dagbladet.
“It is so startlingly brutal, and it requires measures that are far beyond what we normally planned for… The Russians have tried to scare a population into obedience and silence. It upsets me,” he said.
Støre told the newspaper that Europe was no longer the same after February 24, 2022, and that we must now expect “confrontation and division of the continent.”
“What we hoped Europe would be in this decade and beyond will never be,” Støre said, adding that Norway will have a key role in a new Europe.
