AKIPRESS.COM –

Russian President Vladimir Putin stated that Moscow is prepared for a war with Europe but does not want one to occur, Interfax reported.

“Many in Europe are talking about preparing for war with Russia by 2030. Is that right? No. First of all, we are ready, but we do not want any war with Europe. If someone wants to prepare, let them,” Putin said.

The Russian president urged proponents of conflict in Europe “not to forget” that if matters escalate too far, “there will be no winners at all.”

Putin added that Russia remembers the lessons of both world wars and is taking every step to ensure such a catastrophe does not happen again.
