"The Russian side made a protest in Zagreb," the Russian embassy in Croatia said in a statement, expressing regret over the "irresponsible behaviour" of the Croatian foreign minister, which it called "disastrous" for relations between the two countries. Croatia's foreign minister told state radio last week that Vladimir Putin "has already committed war crimes" in Ukraine. He also expressed hope that "the authoritarian regime (of Putin) will not last long."
LEFT BY LEFT HERE ALL DEVELOPMENTS
"The offensive language and baseless accusations of the Croatian diplomatic chief against the President of the Russian Federation are absolutely unacceptable." writes the Russian embassy in Zagreb. "It is equally unacceptable to call the duly elected government of the Russian Federation a regime and to publicly express the desire to replace it as soon as possible," it adds."
Ukraine's Defence Minister Oleksiy Reznikov had on Thursday called on the European Union to label Putin a "war criminal". Croatia, a member of the European Union and NATO, has imposed sanctions against Russia for its invasion of Ukraine.
