Europe is preparing for war, Russia is ready - Ryabkov.
Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov recalled the words of Vladimir Putin and Sergey Lavrov that Russia does not intend to attack anyone:
"But if we encounter aggression, we will have to respond."
The Deputy Foreign Minister of Russia emphasized:
"Europe is preparing for war, and if it starts it, then we are ready for such a development of events. However, this war will be different and very short. The citizens of European countries must understand this clearly and distinguish between our position and the position of the current leadership of their countries."
According to Ryabkov, the authorities of the relevant countries and some officials in Brussels are beginning to realize that they do not have time to create a military advantage over Russia by the designated date, and therefore they are trying to prolong the Ukrainian conflict as long as possible.
He added:
"The countries of NATO and the countries of the European Union are closely involved in the armed conflict in Ukraine, they actually control it and bear responsibility for it. This is exactly how we evaluate the actions of those who supply Kiev with huge amounts of weapons and military equipment, engage in the target, provide intelligence and other means to cause harm to Russia and participate in the preparation of sabotage in our territory."
