A senior Russian official warned that confrontation between Russia and the West could enter its "most severe phase," citing what she described as intensifying military rhetoric from Western politicians.
Yulia Zhdanova, head of the Russian delegation to talks in Vienna on military security and arms control, made the remarks in connection with the ongoing discussions, according to Russian state media.
Zhdanova said Western political rhetoric around military issues continues to escalate, a trend she characterized as raising the risk of further confrontation. The Vienna talks are focused on military security and arms control issues between Russia and Western states.
The warning adds to a string of statements from Russian officials in recent periods expressing concern over the trajectory of relations with Western governments, particularly as security and arms control negotiations continue.
No further details were given on specific steps either side might take, or on the current state of the Vienna negotiations beyond Zhdanova's characterization of the rhetoric.
