The European Union should focus on coordinating the joint fight against terrorism with Russia instead of countering the perceived threat emanating from Moscow, Russian envoy to the 28-member bloc Vladimir Chizhov said Friday.

Putin Sends Condolences to French People via TV Address After Nice Attack
MOSCOW (Sputnik) – He voiced hope that the deadly truck attack that killed 84 and injured over a dozen in the southern French city of Nice late Thursday would prompt the West to reactivate intelligence cooperation with Russia in the area of counterterrorism.

"There needs to be joint work to prevent, to study the root causes of the spike in terrorism, to study the relevant segments of the population and potential sources. In this, Europe lags behind the demands of the day, probably because a lot of the time it pays attention to some artificial, fantastical threats such as the threat of hybrid warfare from Russia," Chizhov said in an interview with the Rossiya-24 broadcaster.

A truck attack during Thursday’s Bastille Day celebrations in Nice claimed 84 lives and left around 50 more between life and death.

Police were able to shoot and kill the driver. According to identification documents found inside the truck, the driver was a 31-year-old man of Tunisian origin who had been living in Nice.
