A Russian military expert has issued a concerning threat to the US and Europe as he calls for further escalation.

Tensions remain high on the world stage when it comes to Russia right now.

Donald Trump has made it clear he is unhappy with the countries’ leader Vladimir Putin and warned him that the nation could face further sanctions if it doesn’t take steps towards peace in Ukraine.

European leaders have also warned that Russia could push for further expansion and that a wider conflict could erupt if the country chooses to attack a NATO nation.

Kremlin mouthpiece, military expert Captain Vasily Dandykin has done little to quell these fears of escalation to a world war with his latest comments.

In fact, Dandykin had some rather ominous responses to questions regarding the future of Europe and the US.

When he was asked if Russia had the ‘required number of missiles’ to reach European countries, like Estonia and its capital, Tallinn, he said: “I don't think much will be needed. But seriously, I think it's time for our 'Oreshnik' to come out on stage again.

“And during the period of this ultimatum, I think our 'defense industry' is not sleeping and has already produced enough missiles.”

The Oreshnik missiles are believed to be intermediate-range and have already been used in combat situations recently, when Ukraine was barraged with a fleet of the warheads back in November.

He also addressed recent alleged comments from Donald Trump about bombing Moscow and insisted Ukraine’s allies needed to face their own ultimatum.

He said: “Even before Trump's so-called ultimatum, our president made it clear: 'either Russia will be free and sovereign, or it will not exist at all'.

“It's time for us to present an ultimatum to Kyiv's guardians. That would be the best decision. They don't abandon their scoundrels until they've squeezed them dry - they won't calm down.”

He also accused European powers of mounting against Russia and argued that the Chancellor of Germany, Friedrich Merz was channeling nazi rhetoric, as Danykin used a popular phrase used by the nazis.

He continued: “Moreover, it seems that Merz's fascist grandfather has woken up, and the phrase 'Drang nach Osten' has gotten stuck in his head.

“The Poles are approaching, and they are already demanding access to the Black Sea. In a word, we have a lot of work ahead of us.”

The phrase 'Drang nach Osten' means 'pressure to the East' and is an expression used in Nazi propaganda to describe German expansion to the East during the Nazi occupation.
