“If Putin was a woman, which he obviously isn’t, I really don’t think he would have embarked on this crazy macho war” aimed at “invading” Ukraine,” he said. he declared on Tuesday evening to the German television channel ZDF.
The outbreak of this war by Russia is “a perfect example of male toxicity”, he further said.
He generally called for better education of young girls around the world and for there to be more “women in positions of power”.
In addition, the head of the British government acknowledged that “everyone wants the war to end”, but for the moment “there is no possible agreement, Putin is not making a peace offer”.
The Western strategy immediately aims to support Ukraine to allow it to be in the best possible strategic position if one day peace negotiations can begin with Moscow, he added.
