We are ready for war." At the Russia-Africa summit, Putin spoke unequivocally, "The Europeans are talking about preparing for war by 1930. Is this true or false? First of all, we are ready, but we don't want any war with Europe. If someone wants, let them prepare, but they have not now achieved their goal of inflicting a strategic defeat on Russia. It is unlikely that this will be possible by the 30th year, if it does not go further every year. About it," said Russian President Vladimir Putin. He was even asked questions about the Ukrainian conflict at the Russia-Africa summit. The plenary session lasted more than seven hours. Nevertheless, the Russian leader himself preferred to concentrate on African issues, noting that Moscow is ready to expand economic cooperation with Africa. Photo: Sergey Bobilev / RIA Novosti.
