Rusia, amenințări fără precedent: „Un război cu Europa va fi complet diferit și foarte scurt” • Newsweek România

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov stated that a war with Europe would be "completely different and very short" if initiated by Europe. He emphasized that Russia has no intention of attacking Europe, despite ongoing hybrid warfare tactics. Lavrov warned that the deployment of Western military contingents in Ukraine would be seen as a declaration of war. He also mentioned that Russia will not return to close relations with Europe as in the post-Soviet era, citing NATO's expansion as a threat. Meanwhile, the Russian Defense Minister awarded a naval commander for actions against a Danish helicopter, escalating tensions further. Ursula von der Leyen proposed a new European Security Council to address hybrid threats from Russia, emphasizing the urgency of the situation.
