US EditionEU’s top diplomat warns that Russia has a plan for long-term aggression against Europe
- The EU’s top diplomat cautioned on Wednesday that Russia threatens the European Union through sabotage, cyberattacks, and its extensive military investments.
- This warning is based on intelligence from Bruno Kahl, head of Germany's foreign intelligence service, who indicated on June 9 that Russia intends to extend its control further west and considers Ukraine merely a preliminary step in pursuing that objective.
- Kallas highlighted that Russia's military budget surpasses the combined defense expenditures of the EU's 27 member states and that this year, Russia will allocate more funds to defense than to its healthcare, education, and social programs combined. Meanwhile, NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte pointed out that Russia manufactures as much weaponry in a quarter of a year as all 32 NATO allies produce collectively in an entire year.
- Kallas warned EU lawmakers that military expenditures imply intentions to use force and emphasized the need to increase support to Ukraine as well as strengthen Europe's security, amid growing fears that Russia might challenge NATO's collective defense commitment under Article 5.
- These developments imply rising European urgency to strengthen defense and support Ukraine amid Russia's long-term plan for aggression and potential future threats to NATO allies.
