[HIGHLIGHTS] The French Foreign Ministry warned of major losses for the EU if Russia wins in Ukraine

French Foreign Minister Stephane Sejournet predicted major losses in the EU economy in the event of a Russian victory in Ukraine. Pentagon chief Lloyd Austin said that Ukraine's defeat in the conflict threatens a military clash between Russia and NATO.

Press Secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov noted that such statements demonstrate the worldview of NATO, which considers Ukraine its territory. The politician noted that in the agricultural sector alone, Russia took control of over 30% of the wheat market. Austin also expressed concern about Russian advances on the front line.
