MOSCOW (Sputnik) - The militarization of the European Union fundamentally changes Russia's attitude towards it, which Moscow takes into account while developing military sector, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Grushko said on Wednesday.

"We see that the militarization of the European Union is taking place. This qualitatively changes our attitude towards him, and this, of course, is taken into account in our military construction," Grushko told the Rossiya 24 broadcaster.

If the EU creates an organization like NATO, Russia will have to deal with a new military structure that will directly pose a threat to Moscow, the deputy foreign minister added.
"I doubt very much that an independent NATO can appear. The truth is that the EU is turning from such a peaceful project into something resembling a very aggressive military bloc. This is shaped not only by decisions to give it additional military capabilities and the development of the military-industrial complex, but also in a philosophical and ideological sense," Grushko also said.
