MOSCOW, July 31. /TASS/. Today, the European Union is focused on the tasks of militarization, "demonization" of Russia and preparations for war with it, while trying to "sweep under the carpet" its own problems, such as the massive crossing of migrants into Ceuta in Spain, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Grushko said.

The upcoming joint nuclear exercises of Germany and France demonstrate that the Europeans are preparing for war with Russia.

TASS has compiled the key statements by the deputy foreign minister.

Migration crisis in Spain

Russia is amazed at the news from Ceuta, which testifies to the collapse of the EU migration policy: "We look at this news with great surprise, of course, and sympathize with the human tragedy. In any case, this is such a humanitarian catastrophe that affects everyone, but at the same time it must be admitted that this is the collapse of the immigration policy that has been pursued by the European Union for many years."
