Russian Ambassador in London: Militarisation of Europe Main Challenge for Russia in the Future

(Patria) - The militarisation of Europe in response to what it calls the Russian threat is the main challenge for Moscow in the coming years, said Russian Ambassador to the United Kingdom Andrey Kelin in an interview with the Sky News Arabia television channel, TASS reported.

"The biggest challenge is, of course, the militarisation of European governments. All these talks that we will go to war with Russia in 2030, 2035, which local generals, very short-sightedly and without knowing the real situation, are trying to convince their own governments and their own people that war is inevitable and that the economy should be militarised, and we should fear the state."

He said that Russia is ready to give European countries written assurances that it does not plan to attack Europe.

He added that Moscow consistently advocates for the creation of a security architecture in the "Old World Order" that would suit the interests of all countries.
