Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated Thursday that the European Union is actively pursuing a path of militarization. According to Peskov, the EU is increasingly focused on confrontation with Russia. This accusation signals a deepening of tensions between Moscow and Brussels. The Kremlin views the EU’s actions as a deliberate shift towards a more aggressive stance. Peskov's comments reflect Russia’s ongoing narrative of being surrounded by hostile forces. This statement is likely to further exacerbate strained relations between Russia and the bloc amid the ongoing geopolitical landscape. The Kremlin did not provide specific examples to support the claim of militarization.
