Moscow, September 27 (Xinhua) — The hysteria surrounding the entry of unidentified drones into European Union territory is being whipped up solely to justify the cost of militarization, said Vladislav Maslennikov, Director of the Russian Foreign Ministry's Department of European Affairs.
"It's clear that the EU's hysteria over drones flying into EU territory and the announcement of defense projects with grandiose names are pursuing a single goal: to justify to the public the increased spending on the militarization of Europe at the expense of socio-economic projects and a decline in the population's standard of living," Maslennikov said in an interview with RIA Novosti.
According to a Russian diplomat, the European Union still has no understanding regarding the parameters of the "drone wall" being discussed within the EU.
“It is regrettable that personal ambitions and political games on the part of the ruling elites in the EU ultimately lead not to a reduction, but to an increase in military and political tensions on our continent,” noted V. Maslennikov. –0–
