Europe is in the grip of a militarization obsession and intends to turn the EU into a military-political bloc, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Wednesday.
French President Emmanuel Macron posted a video online on Tuesday showing a test launch of an M51.3 strategic ballistic missile to convey what he called a "loud and clear message."
"Europe is obsessed with militarization — with plans to militarize the European Union, an economic bloc, by turning it into a military-political bloc," Peskov told reporters.
The concept of militarizing Europe, rooted in a confrontation with Russia, is a dead end and will lead to nothing good, the spokesman cautioned.
"We and President [of Russia Vladimir Putin] have repeatedly said this, we are taking all necessary measures to ensure our national security at a strategic level," Peskov said, adding that Russia is monitoring the situation with the plans in question to militarize Europe and is always on alert.
