Today the Russian Foreign Ministry made a remark, on the record, to Russia's Sputnik News Service which changes the entire dynamic concerning the Russia-Ukraine Conflict, and the remark is frighteningly ominous.

Commenting about the situation and the actions taken by the European Union and United States, the foreign Ministry told Sputnik "The security of the European continent is at risk due to EU action in Ukraine."

Did you get that?  Did that sink in?  "The security of the European continent is at risk due to EU action in Ukraine."

That remark, casually reported by Sputnik, seems to convey to those paying attention, that Europe is now risking a very much wider war over the things it has done, and continues to do, in Ukraine.

It seems to some keen observers that Russia is coming to the conclusion that they may have to take all of Europe. 

Of course, that would mean a NATO versus Russia war and we already know that in such an event, NATO would declare Article five self defense.   We also know that if NATO declares article five self defense against Russia, that Russia will unleash its nuclear arsenal.  President Vladimir Putin make this explicitly clear, with his public remarks in February saying "If NATO declares Article 5 against Russia, it will be a war that no one will win."
