OREANDA-NEWS The militarization of Europe is the Europeans' "B" plan in case Ukraine is unsuccessfully used in the fight against Russia, Sergei Naryshkin, director of Russia's Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR), said on Friday.

"According to forecasts of a number of European intelligence agencies, the mobilization potential of the Ukrainian army will actually be exhausted within a year. In this case, the Europeans have provided for a plan B, the militarization of Europe itself," Naryshkin said at a meeting of the Heads of Security Agencies and Intelligence Services of the CIS member states.
