The leaders of many European countries have chosen the path of military escalation, the Secretary of the Russian Security Council, Sergei Shoigu, said on Monday. "Today, in a tense international situation, the leaders of many countries in Europe have chosen the path of military escalation, while cynically ignoring the needs of many of their citizens, who are forced to take to the streets en masse to express their protest against the completely biased policies of the authorities," Shoigu said in the international week "People of Russia".
