One of the key goals of russian dictator vladimir putin is the destruction of the eU. it is very difficult for the kremlin to deal with a united europe, which puts the rf at a disadvantage.
This was stated by the secretary of the National Security and Defense Council, Oleksiy Danilov, in a piece for the Atlantic Council. He also added that Russia's hybrid war against the EU is already in full swing, but some Western countries prefer not to recognize it, UNN reports.
Danilov said that today's increasingly chaotic and overloaded information landscape helps russia hide its true intentions toward Ukraine and mask its geopolitical ambitions.
As the Atlantic Council writes, Danilov sees the ongoing invasion of Ukraine as center stage in a much broader global confrontation between the democratic world and the resurgent forces of autocracy led by Russia, China, Iran and North Korea, but warns that such clarity is often lacking in his interactions with Ukraine's Western partners.
Unless today's generation of Western leaders urgently realizes the magnitude of the problem, Danilov predicts that they will soon face an entirely different and more hostile international environment.
Too many countries remain in an information fog and do not realize that World War III is already underway. The whole world is involved in one way or another in the current war, although Ukraine is the only country that is really fighting against russia
The Atlantic Council writes that Putin wants to completely change the geopolitical climate and will continue to do so until he is stopped. If Ukraine falls, Danilov is convinced that Russia will continue to expand its aggression. He believes that the countries most at risk will be the former Warsaw Pact member states.
Putin made his intentions perfectly clear in his December 2021 ultimatum to the West when he called on NATO to withdraw from Central and Eastern Europe. Just look at the map, it's all there
According to Danilov, a return to the status quo of the early 1990s is unlikely to satisfy the Russian dictator. He argues that Putin's foreign policy goals ultimately go far beyond the old Iron Curtain and include the breakup of the European Union itself. This would allow Putin to divide and conquer Europe.

One of Putin's key goals is to destroy the EU. it is very difficult for the Kremlin to deal with a united Europe, it puts russia at a disadvantage. Putin would prefer to split the EU and negotiate with each European country separately
As the Atlantic Council writes, this certainly does not mean that Russia is preparing for an immediate invasion of Belgium or occupation of Brussels. On the contrary, the Kremlin is far more likely to use hybrid warfare tactics honed in Ukraine between 2014 and 2022. years and accuses European leaders of turning a blind eye to this unwelcome reality.
Russia's hybrid war against the EU is already in full swing, but some Western countries prefer not to recognize it. putin is constantly committing acts of hybrid aggression against europe, but many europeans do not want to draw the obvious conclusions, as this would force them to recognize the threat and react
