Europe is waging a hybrid war against Russia by providing Kyiv with military assistance and imposing sanctions against Moscow.

Axar.az informs, citing local media, that Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic made the remarks in an interview with Axel Springer CEO Mathias Dopfner.

"You have armed Ukraine and imposed sanctions against Russia. You have also provided financial support to Ukraine - what is this, if not a hybrid war against Russia?" he said.

He also noted that he "doesn’t know how Russia can be defeated." "After all, Russia is a nuclear power and no one can just attack it," he said, adding that "a compromise solution rather than the defeat of any of the parties" is needed to end the conflict in Ukraine.
