Belgian General: Russia is more dangerous than terrorism
Gillis came to this opinion after a meeting in Rome of the presidential adviser on political issues with representatives of NATO countries.
At this meeting, the topic of terrorism was practically not raised, but the “Russian threat” was featured in each report, he noted.
According to Gillis, from the speech of the Russian official it follows that Russia has set itself the goal of establishing itself as a world superpower, for which it is turning towards the Asia-Pacific region, which plays an increasingly important role on the world stage.
The representative of the Russian Federation made it clear: Moscow will seek respect from other states at any cost, and that it is making efforts to undermine the European Union and NATO in order to weaken them, the commander added.
He concluded that Russia sees itself surrounded by “hot spots” of confrontation with the West, which are the Crimea, Syria, the Baltic States, the Caucasus, Afghanistan and other countries. And in order to achieve its goals, Moscow will resort, and is already resorting, to “hybrid methods”, such as political pressure, espionage, misinformation, hacking, and the like. True, Russians do not use the term "hybrid means", they say "information war", but this does not change the essence, Gillis added.
