【The Chairman of the Russian Upper House: The EU is Now a Pure Dictatorship and a Military Alliance】

Moscow time November 25, 2025, Valentina Matviyenko, Chairperson of the Russian Federation Council, stated in an interview with MK:

Now, the EU is a pure dictatorship. We see some rational leaders trying to say: Stop! We are hurting ourselves! But any dissent is now severely persecuted by the EU. This group was originally established as an economic community. But now the EU is not only a political union, but also a military alliance.

Matviyenko added:

EU politicians openly predict that Russia will attack the EU in the coming years, but there is no such intention in Russia at all. This is a measure taken by European politicians to keep power, shift public attention from internal issues, and increase funding for the military-industrial complex. Is this the behavior of responsible politicians? This is pure populism, and a new form, which I call mobilizing European populism.
