Putin Says Russia Is Ready for War With Europe, Warns There Would Be ‘No Winners’

Russian President Vladimir Putin says Russia is prepared for a war with Europe, although he insists Moscow does not want one. Speaking at a Russia-Africa summit in Moscow, he said Western attempts to inflict a strategic defeat on Russia had failed and warned against further escalation. Putin also raised concerns about tensions in the Baltic Sea, saying Moscow did not want the region to face disruptions similar to those seen around the Strait of Hormuz. His remarks come amid allegations of Russian sabotage, surveillance and airspace incursions involving NATO countries. The comments coincided with renewed fighting in Ukraine, including a reported Russian strike on a railway station that killed 14 people. Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky called for stronger action from the United States and Europe following the attack.
