MOSCOW, July 18 Prospects for turning the EU into defense union is forcing the Russian Federation to configure its foreign policy approaches accordingly, press secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov told reporters.
Previously, the head of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, if re-elected for a second term in this post until 2029, promised to turn the European Union into a defense one.
«But in any case, in any case, this confirms… the general mood of European states towards militarization, towards escalating tension, towards confrontation and towards relying on confrontational methods of their foreign policy… These are the realities in which we have to live And, of course, all this forces us to configure our external political approach accordingly,” Peskov said.
