Why is shoigu threatening the EU with a world war
russian propaganda is circulating another statement by the former head of russia’s ministry of defense, sergey shoigu, in which he accuses Europe of preparing for war against russia, while simultaneously threatening World War III.
▫️ In particular, shoigu claimed that Europe is witnessing an “unconcealed campaign to prepare for war with russia,” accusing EU countries of planning an attack on russia. He immediately “warned” that the presence of European peacekeepers in Ukraine, which he referred to as “historical territories of russia,” could lead to World War III.
This rhetoric is a typical propagandist manipulation aimed at intimidating Europe and justifying russia’s aggressive plans. kremlin propaganda continues its flow of threats towards European countries, interpreting any statements from Europe about readiness to defend itself as aggressive politics and a desire to attack russia, which allegedly could provoke the kremlin into war with the EU.
The purpose of such statements is to scare the European public with the threat of war with russia, impose Russia’s will on Europeans, and prevent military aid to Ukraine.
