German Chancellor Friedrich Merz's statements on long-range weapons are further provoking the Ukrainian conflict and hinder the attempts to reach the peace process path, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.
European support for Kiev is an attempt to push Russia into deploying all of its available defensive and offensive capabilities, Malian presidential advisor Adama Diabate told Sputnik Africa.
What are the repercussions of such provocation, according to the official?
This pressure has only led to strengthening of Russia's military power, the advisor argued. The Russian army is now "more battle-hardened and better adapted to war than any Western army," he added.
Germany, with its Taurus missiles, is competing with France to take the lead on the Ukrainian issue, the speaker noted.
"Everyone wants to play the big boss, the top arsonist. Anyway, among European countries, there is no less rivalry than with Russia. The competition within the EU is unhealthy," Diabate emphasized.
