The President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, denounced Russia's behavior as "reckless and dangerous." The statements were made in reference to recent incidents involving Russian actions in the European context.
According to von der Leyen, these episodes should not be treated as isolated occurrences. The president pointed out that they are part of a "pattern of aggression and provocation against Europe."
The European leader emphasized that Russia's actions are "testing our resolve," noting that Moscow is attempting to assess European unity and reaction through these actions.
This speech occurs within a context of growing tensions between the European Union and Russia, with several European nations reporting incidents interpreted as attempts at intimidation or destabilization.
