Russian political analyst Sergey Karaganov criticized the European Union's stance towards Russia, stating that Europe is facing the risk of nuclear war. Karaganov noted that the US is escalating the conflict by fueling the war in Ukraine and that Europe will suffer in this process. Highlighting developments such as Germany producing Ukraine-designed unmanned aerial vehicles as increasing tensions, Karaganov argued that European leaders are acting with a sense of impunity. Karaganov emphasized that Russia has set legitimate targets and that Europe needs to take this situation seriously. The European Commission, however, rejected Russia's claims. Karaganov warned that if Europe does not change its stance, the situation could worsen further. These statements came at a time when tensions between Russia and the West continue.
