Putin: Russia is "ready" for war with Europe, but "we don't want any war with Europe" he stated this at a joint press conference with the head of the African Union and the leader of Burundi, Everist I appreciate it, following the results of the Russia-Africa Economic and Humanitarian Forum in Moscow. This is how Vladimir Putin responded to a telephone conversation with Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Storr and Finnish President Alexander Staab. "I believe it is true, in the end, that there are people in Europe who do not want to inflict a strategic defeat on Russia, like some, but want to create some kind of constructive dialogue. And we support every step aimed at restoring full and meaningful relations with European countries. Either with all of them together, in the form of a recognized organization in the EU, please, or we care about the EU. But, according to Putin, "many" countries are "talking about preparing for war by 2030." “Well, is that true or not? Well, first of all, we are ready. But we don't want any war with Europe. And they, if anyone 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 until the 30th year. And if it goes too far, no one will be added to it at all."
