The Kremlin said today that European officials who are talking about the prospect of war with Russia are aiming to demonize the Moscow as an enemy and warned that the US would try to make Europe foot the bill for supporting Ukraine.
Asked about a Wall Street Journal report that European officials expressed concern about the risk of conflict with Russia, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said:
“The situation is clear: These are attempts to demonize her Russia, to create the image of an enemy who is used to extracting additional money from taxpayers.”
Russia's invasion of Ukraine – which Moscow describes as a special military operation – has sparked the biggest confrontation between West and Russia since the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis while Moscow and Washington have warned of the risk of conflict between NATO and Russia.
US President Joe Biden warned in 2022 that a direct confrontation between NATO and Russia would trigger World War III. The Russian president Vladimir Putin rejected Biden's comments that Russia would attack NATO.
European leaders today discussed and reached an agreement to provide an additional €50 billion in aid to Ukraine.
“We are watching,” said Peskov referring to this matter. “We understand that Kiev continues to experience problems and the collective West also experiences problems.”
“Obviously, there will be a process in which an effort will be made to shift the financial burden of Washington's support for the Kremlin regime onto the shoulders of European taxpayers.”
