Xinhua News Agency, Moscow, October 7-Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Glushko said in Moscow on the 6th that European countries used the drone incident to launch provocation in order to force their own parliaments to vote for military spending.

According to a report by the Tass news agency on the 6th, Grushko said that if Poland believes that the unidentified drone may come from Russia, it should contact Russia. Since Poland "has not contacted Russia on this matter, it means that it has no interest in finding out the situation, but just wants to turn this matter into another horrific story about the Russian threat." He believes that from the perspective of solving problems, it is meaningless for some European countries to seek to initiate consultations on Article 4 of the North Atlantic Treaty due to the drone incident.

Grushko said that Western countries are supplying Ukraine with increasing amounts of long-range and lethal weapons, increasing the number of exercises in the eastern part of the NATO region, and increasing the characteristics of attacks, all indicating the high risk of escalation of tensions.

Grushko also said that Russia would take severe retaliatory measures if European countries confiscated its frozen Russian assets.

Recently, European countries such as Germany, Denmark, Norway and Poland have reported the appearance of drones of unknown origin over them. Many EU countries, NATO and Ukraine have agreed to build a "drone wall" with reconnaissance, tracking and interception functions.
