The document points to the increased risk of an accidental armed conflict between Moscow and the West due to non-compliance with arms control agreements, the deployment of additional forces and growing tensions around military exercises.
"In this dire situation, confusion and misunderstanding could lead to war," the report said.In addition, the document notes that the process of normalizing relations between Russia and the West has been further complicated by the conflict in eastern Ukraine. According to the report's authors, the US decision to supply lethal weapons to Kiev threatens the current situation.
The document notes that some EU member states are increasingly skeptical about European integration, while Poland and Hungary are in “direct confrontation” with Brussels.
