European leaders have "mobilized Europe's military potential against Russia," says Dmitry Peskov

Jornal Económico30 August 2026 at 11:23

The spokesperson for the Russian Presidency, Dmitry Peskov, stated today that the Kremlin sees no conditions for an improvement in relations between Russia and the European Union. The statements were cited by the Russian agency TASS.

Peskov pointed to the military strengthening of European countries and criticized the current generation of European politicians in power, which he classified as "belligerent," not only in words but also in actions. The Kremlin representative warned that European leaders have "fully mobilized Europe's military potential" to direct it against Russia.

According to Peskov, European countries are "directly participating in military operations against" Russia, referring to the conflict in Ukraine. The spokesperson argued that it is necessary to understand this reality and remain conscious of it, although he added that Russia maintains openness to building relations.

Relations between Moscow and Brussels remain deteriorated since the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, which led to the imposition of dozens of sanctions by the European Union against Russia.

O Kremlin não vê condições para uma melhoria nas relações entre a Rússia e a União Europeia, disse hoje o porta-voz da Presidência, Dmitri Peskov, que apontou ao robustecimento militar dos países europeus.

“De momento, não vejo motivos para esperar uma melhoria nas nossas relações com a Europa. Os políticos atuais, a geração atual de políticos no poder, são beligerantes, não só nas palavras como também nos atos”, asseverou o representante do Kremlin, citado pela agência russa TASS.

Os líderes europeus, acrescentou, têm “mobilizado plenamente o potencial militar da Europa”, para o dirigir contra a Rússia, ao “participar diretamente em operações militares contrárias”, no caso na Ucrânia.

“Devemos ser conscientes disto. Claro, devemos manter-nos abertos a construir relações, e de facto mantemos essa abertura, mas também devemos compreender perfeitamente com quem estamos a lidar”, acrescentou Peskov.

As relações entre Moscovo e Bruxelas mantêm-se deterioradas no contexto da invasão russa à Ucrânia, em fevereiro de 2022, que levou a dezenas de sanções impostas pela União Europeia.

Iran: Leader calls on Muslim countries to unite against US and Israel

Iran's supreme leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, called on Muslim countries to unite against the United States and Israel, in a written message cited by AFP. Khamenei, who succeeded his father who died in February, stated that the solution to the problems of the Muslim Umma lies in unity and cooperation, designating the US and Israel as the "true enemy" of all Muslim countries. In response to the Israeli-American offensive, Iran attacked countries allied with Washington in the region and blocked the Strait of Hormuz, through which a fifth of the world's oil circulates, generating fears of a global economic crisis. Tehran faces a US naval blockade and hardened sanctions on Monday, with Khamenei also calling for the progressive "de-dollarization" of the Iranian economy.
