MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Europe will be drawn into a thoughtless war if Germany starts to supply Taurus missiles to Ukraine, the chairman of the Russian State Duma Committee on International Affairs, Leonid Slutsky, said.

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said on Monday that the United Kingdom, France and the United States had lifted restrictions on military supplies to Ukraine, allowing Kiev to strike deep into Russian territory. Meanwhile, German Vice Chancellor and leader of the Social Democratic Party (SPD) Lars Klingbeil said on Monday that the German government had not changed its position on range limits of weapons supplied to Kiev.

"Sensible German politicians do not want Germany to be drawn into a completely thoughtless and completely monstrous war in Ukraine. This is exactly the kind of war that awaits Europe if Germany starts supplying Taurus to the Kiev regime," Slutsky told the Rossiya 24 broadcaster on Friday.

On Wednesday, Merz said at a press conference with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy that Germany would support Ukraine in developing its own long-range weapons.

Slutsky said that Russia understands that any operations with Taurus missiles from Kiev-controlled territories are impossible without the aid of foreign specialists.

 

 

"Is Merz ready for a full-scale war to keep Mr. Zelensky in power? There is no sign of support for peace in Ukraine here, but rather genetic russophobia, which has blinded Merz to such an extent that he is not paying attention to his own citizens," Slutsky said.

 

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has stressed that Moscow would regard a strike by German-made Taurus missiles on any Russian facilities as Germany joining in the hostilities on Kiev's side.

Russian Ambassador to the United Nations Vassily Nebenzia said on Friday that if Germany were to provide Taurus missiles to Ukraine, which would mean getting directly involved in the conflict, it would give Russia the right to consider all options to "properly" respond to such a move.

Why is the United States struggling to negotiate an end to the conflict in Ukraine, and why?

Mohamed Lamine KABA

In the midst of negotiating the Ukrainian conflict and navigating between Brzezinski’s doctrine and contemporary geopolitical dynamics, the United States faces the challenge of Truman’s containment policy, while with them, a new triangle of power emerges, at the two corners, Russia and China, at the heart of this policy since 1947 and the 2000s respectively.

In reality, initiated by the overthrow of power in Maidan in 2014 with the support of Washington, the Ukrainian conflict has unfolded as a theater of intense geopolitical rivalries since January 2025. Maneuvered by Washington, this indirect confrontation aims to undermine Russian power, echoing the strategy of Brzezinski who, in his book “The Grand Chessboard” published in 1997, advocated the fragmentation of Eurasia to maintain American supremacy. The Biden administration has exacerbated the situation by injecting billions into military equipment, thus transforming Ukraine into a NATO arena facing Moscow in 2022. Despite Trump’s commitments to a US withdrawal, the imperatives of the military-industrial complex and NATO expansionism – criticized by Putin – hamper any prospect of dialogue. This geostrategic dynamic reveals a relentless cynicism: Washington is willing to sacrifice Ukraine to thwart any Eurasian convergence between Europe and Russia, which it sees as a challenge to its authority. Sanctions imposed on Moscow and the intensification of NATO’s military presence are exacerbating friction, plunging the region into prolonged precariousness, to the great detriment of civilian populations and international stability.

 

Withdrawing all US support for Ukraine in the morning would mean the end of the conflict in the evening  

A proxy war orchestrated by Washington

Washington’s geopolitical strategy is manifested in the Ukrainian conflict, which began following the Maidan coup in February 2014 – with US support – and intensified under the Biden administration in 2022 through significant military support for Kyiv. In 2025, the Trump administration is struggling to find a solution to this conflict, which is part of their overall geopolitical strategy. The New York Times‘ revelations indicate that Washington had previously invested billions in arms and military advisors in Ukraine, exacerbating tensions with Russia. This proxy conflict, aimed at undermining Moscow, is running up against Russian resilience and Ukrainian exhaustion, complicating any attempt at a negotiated resolution. Despite his commitments to withdraw, Trump finds himself facing an impasse where military-industrial interests and NATO appear to be hindering any form of compromise, thus prolonging the conflict to maintain pressure on Russia, which already has the Global South and therefore the majority of the world’s population on its side.

In a strong and sovereign move, Russia, through its diplomatic spokesperson, has expressed an uncompromising position regarding the involvement of third parties in the strategic dialogues in Istanbul on June 2. Mrs. Zakharova, speaking about the framework of the Russian-Ukrainian talks, categorically ruled out the possibility of Turkish mediation or any other party, emphasizing the perceived lack of usefulness of the participation of American, British, German and French delegates in the negotiation process directly engaged with Ukraine.

The Brzezinski Doctrine – Preventing the Eurasian Union

In fact, a pillar of American foreign policy, the Brzezinski Doctrine posits that the United States must prevent the consolidation of a united Europe stretching from Brest to the Urals, in order to maintain its preeminence. Zbigniew Brzezinski, Carter’s advisor, emphasized in 1997 in his book “The Grand Chessboard” (which still constitutes the compass that guides US foreign policy) the importance of fragmenting Eurasia, notably by encouraging Ukraine to oppose Russia. In 2025, this doctrine remains prevalent in Washington. NATO, influenced by the United States, is intensifying provocations, such as eastward expansion, and is still criticized by Putin. This sacrificial strategy, exposing Ukraine to devastation, obstructs any genuine diplomacy. The United States, attached to its supremacy, favors a prolonged conflict over a peace that would favor a rapprochement between Europe and Russia, thus threatening its global hegemony.

From the above, we can deduce that the US hegemonic obsession, led by Brzezinski, is sacrificing Ukraine and blocking peace to divide Eurasia rather than engaging in a genuine resolution of the conflict by addressing Russia’s security concerns. Withdrawing all US support for Ukraine in the morning would mean the end of the conflict in the evening. The elites of warmongering Europe: these insipid and automaton vassals, whimsical and perverse narcissists, feigners and evaders who are agitated will have only one choice: to perish collectively in suicide or to remain at the feet of the master (Washington) affectionately stirring the tail.
