Russian media: France believes that large-scale conflicts may occur in Europe by 2030!

The document highlights the threat from Russia and the rise of China.

TASS published an article on July 14th.

The General Secretariat for Defense and National Security of France released an updated defense and security principles - "Strategic Review - 2025" (RNS 2025).

The document states that it is likely that large-scale armed conflicts will occur in Europe by 2030, with France and its allies participating in them.

It emphasizes that the conflict will take place outside the territory of France, but France may be drawn into the conflict with its allies.

The document mentions the so-called unprecedented level of the "Russian threat," which will increase by 2030, against the backdrop of the accelerated pace of production in the Russian Federation's defense complex industry.

The French General Secretariat for Defense and National Security claimed in its "strategic assessment" that Russia could "invade Europe" in the next three to five years.

The document emphasizes: "It is necessary to mobilize the entire country to cope with the impact that this conflict might have on the national territory."

For this reason, it is necessary to strengthen the sustainability of France, involve citizens in defense and national security, mobilize the entire population, and truly raise the morale of the people, especially the youth."

In this context, Europe is called upon to achieve a "strategic awakening," unite to strive for competitiveness.

France proposes to enhance the defense capabilities of European countries, as the attention of the United States is shifting towards Asia.

The document highlights the rise of China.

According to Paris, China may become a "leading world power" by 2050, and therefore China was mentioned separately in France's "commentary."

French analysts point out that China pays particular attention to France's overseas territories, especially New Caledonia, "because of its strategic location and nickel reserves."

At the same time, they are concerned about China's expanding economic influence around the world, the alleged deployment of "military means" in different regions, and the acceleration of technological development.
