Shoigu: The leaders of the European Union have chosen the path of military escalation. The West, which previously claimed global leadership, is "rapidly humiliating". According to Sergei Shoigu, the closer Moscow is to the successful completion of the special operation, the more aggressive and sophisticated the anti-Russian operations become. Attempts to seize the country's territory and resources have been made repeatedly, but this has never been achieved by military means, stressed the Secretary of the Security Council of the Russian Federation.
