Blanar said the conflict in Ukraine has no military solution, according to the report.
Calling for a Diplomatic Path
Blanar's remarks reflect a position that has been voiced by some European officials who argue that a negotiated settlement, rather than continued military escalation, offers the most realistic route to ending the war.
The reference to an "Iron Curtain" evokes the Cold War-era division of Europe, suggesting concern that continued confrontation could deepen a new split between East and West on the continent.
The comments come amid ongoing debate within the European Union and NATO over the appropriate balance of military support for Ukraine and diplomatic efforts to end the conflict.
