European countries are becoming increasingly involved in Russia's war against Ukraine, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said during a briefing on April 17.

The remarks follow recent Russian warnings that European support for Ukraine's drone capabilities could bring "unpredictable consequences," with Moscow accusing several countries of becoming part of Kyiv's "strategic rear."

Ukraine and European allies have expanded defense cooperation in recent weeks, including agreements with the U.K. and Germany on joint drone initiatives. Spain and Belgium also pledged a combined 2 billion euros ($2.35 billion) in new military aid.

Russia's Defense Ministry claimed that drones used in Ukrainian strikes on Russia were produced with support from facilities across Europe, naming cities including London, Munich, Prague, and Riga, and alleging component production sites in Spain and Italy.

The threats from Russia are increasing as Ukraine is gaining the advantage in the war. Is Russia crazy enough to attack Europe and NATO? IMHO, yes.
