According to Andrey Kartapolov, Chairman of the Defense Committee of the Russian State Duma, European nations are covertly deploying air forces and air defense systems along Russia’s border.

He reported that movements of aircraft from the United Kingdom and France have already been detected. Kartapolov emphasized that these activities are taking place against the backdrop of claims regarding Russia allegedly violating airspace boundaries.

Kartapolov stressed that under the cover of such statements, there could be hidden deployments and preparations for the relocation of air forces and air defense systems either to the Russian border or to Ukraine.

The Russian official also pointed out that Europe’s actions are unpredictable, with irresponsible politicians in power who seem indifferent to the well-being of their own citizens. He noted that, in his opinion, only Hungary, Slovakia, and Serbia stand apart, while all other countries act as puppets of the European Union.
