"I'm sure Putin gets emotional if not physical satisfaction humiliating the west by showing what he perceives as his super-strength, Kyslytsia said, adding that the Russian president's reckless actions risked antagonising a White House that appeared to be cooling on him. It's a boomerang thing, Kyslytsia said. What Russia does next depends on whether Europe and the Trump administration show collective resolve, he suggested. Without a decisive transatlantic response, Putin would escalate escalating, he predicted, with more actions designed to disrupt and paralyse the continent."
"Incidents involving drones that restricted flights at Munich and Copenhagen airports have raised fears of Russian involvement. Moscow has denied responsibility. Kyslytsia claimed Russia had infiltrated EU countries with agents and moles he said were responsible for drone flights over airports in Denmark and Germany, as well as in allied military bases. He described them as konservy literally tin cans in Ukrainian who could be activated or opened by Moscow when needed."
Sergiy Kyslytsia, Ukraine's deputy foreign minister and former UN ambassador, says the Kremlin is already at war with Europe and that Vladimir Putin will escalate further without decisive Western response. Russia has sent decoy drones into Poland, violated Estonian airspace with fighter jets, and caused flight restrictions at Munich and Copenhagen airports. Moscow denies responsibility. Kyslytsia alleges Russian infiltration of EU countries with agents and moles tied to airport drone flights and allied military bases, calling them konservy — literally 'tin cans' — that Moscow can activate when needed. He warns that lack of transatlantic resolve risks broader disruptive actions.
