Russian Envoy Questions US Ability to Protect EU
The comments came from President Vladimir Putin’s envoy, Kirill Dmitriev, in reaction to U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s speech at the Munich Security Conference. Rubio sought to reassure European allies amid a year of tense transatlantic relations, stating that despite disagreements, the U.S. and Europe “belong together.”
He added that Washington’s policies, which have occasionally angered Brussels—from tariffs and NATO spending demands to the Greenland initiative—may appear “a little direct and urgent,” but emphasized that this is because “we care deeply” about the EU and the broader Western world.
In response, Dmitriev posted on X that the EU’s large bureaucracy and questionable policy choices could hinder U.S. efforts to “renew and restore” Western civilization. “The US cares deeply and tries to prevent EU bureaucrats from destroying Western civilization,” he wrote. “But EU bureaucrats are highly focused and skilled at destroying it through false narratives, migration, warmongering, and economic decline. It’s unclear who wins.”
