Is Europe sliding closer to conflict with Russia? | Inside Story

After nearly four years of war between Kyiv and Moscow, fighting is heating up on the frontlines of eastern Ukraine.
But with drones spotted at sensitive sites across the European Union, its leaders have declared Russia is fighting a hybrid war beyond Ukraine's borders.
They say the bloc will protect "every centimetre" of its territory, as member states scale up military spending to heights not seen for decades.
And although only Ukraine and Russia are officially at war, the continent has now entered an arms race that's reshaping its economies, rattling governments and reframing relationships within the union itself.
All this comes as Ukraine is losing territory to Russia, one kilometre at a time.
So, is war really edging closer to Europe's borders and is the continent prepared?
