Why It Matters
In the context of deteriorating relations between Russia and the West since the outbreak of the conflict in Ukraine, EU and NATO countries have periodically raised a potential military threat from Russia, while Russian officials have denied such plans and blamed the West for escalating tensions.
The head of the Russian Direct Investment Fund commented on the words of Lithuanian Prime Minister Mindaugas Sinkevičius about the lack of evidence of Russia’s military plans against the European Union (EU). He wrote about this on his page on the social network X.
He noted that Sinkevičius directly stated that horror stories about the Russian threat are not based on any facts. According to Dmitriev, these were “unusually wise words from the Prime Minister of Lithuania.”
“EU bureaucrats need Russia as a bogeyman to divert attention from their appalling failures on migration, the economy, woke politics and war-mongering,” the official added.
