Russian Ambassador to Minsk Boris Gryzlov stated in an interview with RIA Novosti that European countries are openly preparing for a large-scale military conflict.
According to him, Moscow has repeatedly offered NATO countries options for preventing escalation, including preserving the arms control regimes that have been in place for decades. However, the diplomat noted, the West has ignored these proposals.
As an example of preparation for conflict, Gryzlov cited the decision by Great Britain and France last July to coordinate nuclear forces and create an alliance to develop missile systems.
Holy. None of this text is in the article posted, nor does it even remotely resemble the article posted. Straight Russian propaganda.
No space age huh. Sad.
“Russian Ambassador to Minsk… European countries openly preparing…” I can’t imagine why they would possibly be doing that. /s.
Elaborate, please
Oh, I don’t know, maybe it has something to do with a four year (and counting) long “3 day special military operation”
OP, you forgot to clear your clipboard, your quote is nowhere in the text. What you were looking for is this:
“This reluctance underscores a broader institutional challenge: even when European interests are directly affected, the mechanisms required to translate those interests into timely and unified security action remain limited. It reflects not only capability limitations but also political hesitation to transform defensive missions into instruments of broader strategic engagement.”
EU as a whole, was never a threat to Russia.
