"The Russian rhetorical escalation could lead to a miscalculation with significant repercussions at a European level"

CNN Portugal9 September 2026 at 00:00

Russian rhetorical escalation could lead to a miscalculation with significant consequences at a European level. This is the analysis of Rui Henrique Santos, CNN Portugal commentator.

According to the commentator, Russia realizes it "holds the cards" regarding the Ukraine war. This perception suggests that Moscow believes it is in a position of strength in the current conflict.

The situation raises concerns about the risks of misunderstandings or miscalculations that could have an impact beyond the borders of the direct conflict between Russia and Ukraine, affecting the European landscape more broadly.
