Moscow (Eurotoday) – On Sunday, Dmitry Peskov, a spokesman for the Kremlin, charged that the European Union was using Russia’s “fiend of hell” image to defend its ongoing military assistance to Ukraine and drive the crisis further.
“They are creating an enemy image of Russia both domestically and internationally,”
Peskov stated, adding that this approach helps efforts to supply more Western arms to Kyiv. Peskov also asserted that this kind of rhetoric is used to transfer the burden of war onto European taxpayers.
Is Russia truly a danger to NATO members?
Earlier, Peskov stated that NATO was rapidly militarising and aiming to depict Russia as a “fiend of hell” to justify a significant rise in member countries’ defence budgets. Russia denies any intention to attack NATO. However, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated that efforts to reassure the alliance are “largely a wasted effort” because they are intent on demonising Russia.
“It is an alliance created for confrontation… It is not an instrument of peace and stability,”
he stated, citing NATO’s preference to get members to devote to spending 5% of their GDP to defence, as required by U.S. President Donald Trump.
“The alliance is confidently moving along the path of rampant militarisation,”
Peskov said. In order to push through the 5% target, it was necessary for NATO to conjure up a demonic threat, he added.
“To do this, you need to draw a picture of a fiend of hell, a monster. And the point of view of these NATO functionaries, our country is the one best suited for the role of the monster.”
How much military support is the EU giving Ukraine?
According to reports, the European Union’s military assistance to Ukraine has been robust and continues to increase in size and scope in 2025. Since the start of the war, the EU and its 27 Member States have collectively provided Ukraine with $180 billion worth of financial, military, humanitarian, and refugee assistance.
Of the total contributions, approximately 65% is grants or in-kind assistance, and 35% is highly concessional loans.
For the year 2025, the EU

Isn’t it charming how Russia’s top spokesman is turning into a theatrical critic? 🎭 Must be exhausting playing the role of the misunderstood monster while Europe just wants to finish its “demonizing” blockbuster. 🍿

Typical Peskov, trying to sell us a horror movie plot where Russia is the misunderstood villain. 🎬 Honestly, it’s like an episode of “Keeping Up with the Kremlin”—who knew geopolitics could be this entertaining? 😂

Oh, lovely! Just what we need—Russia’s finest in the role of the misunderstood villain. Next, they’ll be asking for an Oscar for Best Performance in a Crisis. 🎭

Oh, look who’s playing the victim card again! Peskov must think we’re all just sitting in our cafes sipping lattes, waiting for the next episode of “Russia: The Misunderstood Monster.” ☕️😏

Funny how a country that considers itself a “fiend of hell” is now playing the victim card. Maybe they should try a new PR strategy instead of blaming Europe for their own theatrics. 😏
-
Right, because painting Russia as the ultimate baddie is clearly the secret recipe for peace, isn’t it? 😂 Next, we’ll be handing out medals for the best horror stories!

Typical Peskov, always ready to play the victim while the rest of us just want to enjoy our morning coffee without imagining a “fiend of hell” lurking around the corner. ☕️😏
