Russophobia and militarization is all that EU and UK leaders can offer to their public, Sergey Naryshkin has said
Western Europe is actively preparing for a conflict with Russia as it is struggling to accept the end of the unipolar world order, the head of Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR), Sergey Naryshkin, has said.
Countries across the EU have increased military spending since the escalation of the Ukraine conflict in 2022, agreeing to allocate €800 billion ($937 billion) for defense purposes by 2030 as part of a bloc-wide plan.
Some of the bloc’s politicians have also increasingly spoken of a “Russian threat.” Moscow has denied harboring any aggressive intentions towards NATO states on the continent, but has warned of a harsh response if attacked.
Speaking at a summit in the Uzbek city of Samarkand on Monday, Naryshkin stressed that everything must be done to ensure that the switch to a multipolar world order “occurs without a major war as has happened in previous historical periods.”
