Russia is on guard amid the European Union's militarization plans, according to a statement from the Kremlin reported by TASS.
The statement came after France test-fired a new nuclear-capable missile, a development referenced alongside the Kremlin's comments on European military plans.
Russian officials have repeatedly expressed concern over what they describe as European efforts to expand military capabilities, framing such steps as part of a broader pattern of militarization across the continent.
The Kremlin's comments did not detail specific measures Russia might take in response to the European Union's plans or to France's missile test.
The statement adds to a series of exchanges between Russian officials and European governments regarding defense policy and military posture amid the continuing war in Ukraine.
