MINSK, 5 January (BelTA) – Should the “Russian threat” disappear, the European Union would unravel, Editor-in-Chief of the Words and Meanings almanac Elena Kondratieva-Salguero (France) said in a recent episode of BelTA’s YouTube project “V Teme” [On Point].
“Russia is, in effect, the force currently holding the entire European Union together. If the threat of this external enemy were to suddenly vanish, there would be nothing left. Everything would simply fall apart, because there would be no one left to blame,” stated Elena Kondratieva-Salguero. “The Baltic countries, in particular, have no idea what they would do if the ‘Russian threat’ were to suddenly disappear.”
