Peskov: The establishment of European defense system is evidence of the desire to escalate tension with Russia
Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov affirmed today that the idea of European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen to establish a joint defense system for the European Union is evidence of the determination of European countries to confront Russia and increase tension.
Peskov explained to reporters, according to what Novosti reported, that “von der Leyen’s statements once again confirm the European countries’ determination to arm themselves, increase the intensity of tension and confrontation, and rely on them in foreign policy.”
European Commission President von der Leyen has previously promised that if she is elected for a second term, she will transform the European Union into a common defense system.
In late June, the leaders of the European Union countries agreed to nominate Ursula von der Leyen for the position of President of the European Commission for a second term.
