If Europe attacks Russia, war will be short – Lavrov

Russia has no intention of attacking Europe, but the response to possible aggression will be swift and decisive. This was stated by the Minister of foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation Sergey Lavrov, informs RIA “Novosti”.

“If Europe, which daily talks about preparing for war against Russia, attacks the Russian Federation, it will be a completely different war and it will be very short,” he said.

Lavrov expressed hope that European capitals heard the warning. According to him, the West seeks to preserve in Ukraine “an openly Nazi and Russophobic regime” and discusses the deployment of mobilization forces there, which President Vladimir Putin regards as a declaration of direct war.

At the same time, Moscow continues to consistently fulfill the tasks of the SVO to eliminate the root causes of the conflict. The Minister is confident that the achievement of these goals will serve to improve the situation on the entire Eurasian continent.
