Europe is "obsessed" with militarizing the European Union (EU) to transform the economic bloc into a military-political one, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Wednesday.

Russia remains on guard and is monitoring the situation closely after France tested a new nuclear missile, he said.

Peskov noted that the EU is shaping its defense policy around confrontation with Russia, calling it "a dead-end path."

Russia is taking relevant security measures while remaining open to dialogue with EU nations, he said.

France on Tuesday test-fired a strategic ballistic missile from a submarine off Finistere on the western coast. It carried no nuclear warhead. President Emmanuel Macron described it as a "loud and clear message."
