The objective of the Russian dictator is to divide the EU and NATO, as well as to make Moscow a dominant force in Europe.

Russia might launch an attack on a military facility in Europe to fracture Ukraine’s allies.
This viewpoint was articulated by Russian foreign policy expert Hanna Notte, as reported by BILD.
“Russian President Volodymyr Putin cannot compel Ukraine to surrender, and therefore, there is a risk that he may escalate against Europe,” she stated.
According to her, as Ukrainians consistently strike Russian rear areas, military logic will likely lead the Kremlin to consider attacking Ukraine’s strategic rear – the EU.
However, the expert does not anticipate a large-scale assault on NATO or the opening of a new front in Europe.
“Most likely, it could be an attack on a single facility in a NATO country to provoke complex discussions within the Alliance, sow fear, and destroy the consensus on long-term support for Ukraine,” she added.
Potential Russian Attack on Europe – Latest News
Volodymyr Putin has claimed that statements about Moscow’s alleged plans to attack Europe are “nonsense.” In his opinion, these claims are made for domestic political reasons to “create an enemy image” and “cover up mistakes made by Western governments over many years.”
However, according to media reports, American intelligence has confirmed that Putin’s delusional territorial expansion plans are not limited to Donbas, Kherson, and Zaporizhzhia regions. He aims to regain control of all of Ukraine and other former Soviet republics for Moscow.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has stated that his country, which has been at war with Ukraine for nearly 12 years, has no intention of attacking Europe. Nevertheless, according to Lavrov, Russia is prepared to provide a full response if necessary.
British economist Andrew Lilico asserts that **Russia** might threaten or even invade European countries, but as mathematics shows, if it comes to that, Moscow will simply lack the economic resources to pose a serious threat in the medium term.
