Russia is gearing up for a potential face-off with European democracies as the United States turns its attention to the Indo-Pacific region, stated European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen on Tuesday. She highlighted Russia's significant increase in military-industrial production capacity, stating that this investment not only supports its aggression in Ukraine but also readies it for potential conflicts with European democracies. Von der Leyen made these remarks while addressing an audience at the Royal Danish Military Academy in Copenhagen.
