Russia is ready for war with Europe, but does not want this war. And there will be no winners at all," Putin said at a press conference following the Russia-Africa summit, referring to his recent conversation with the leaders of Norway and Finland. "Many are only talking about preparing for war (with Russia) until 2030. Is this true? not. We are, first of all, ready, but we do not want any war with Europe. And if anyone wants to, let them prepare." The president warned supporters of war with the Russian Federation: "They have not now achieved their goal of inflicting a strategic defeat on Russia; that is unlikely to be possible by 2030." "And if it goes too far, then there will be no winners at all. Let no one forget this," Putin stressed.
