BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Russia is preparing itself for a confrontation with European democracies as the United States shifts its focus towards the Indo-Pacific region, European Commission head Ursula von der Leyen said on Tuesday.

"(Russia) has massively expanded its military-industrial production capacity... This investment fuels its war of aggression in Ukraine while preparing it for future confrontation with European democracies," she said, speaking at the Royal Danish Military Academy in Copenhagen.
