Russia Has No Plans to Attack Europe, But 'War With Russia Will Be Short': Lavrov
Russia does not intend to attack Europe, but if it attacks Russia, the war will be short, as Russian President Vladimir Putin warned, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on Wednesday.
"I would like to emphasise that we have no interest in engaging in this [attacking Europe], but if Europe, which is talking about preparing for war against Russia on a daily basis, attacks Russia, it will be a completely different war, and it will be very short," Lavrov said at the International Youth Festival.
The minister also expressed the hope that Europe had heard the warning about a short war in the event of an attack on Russia.
Further he expressed doubts regarding the idea that the world is being governed based solely on agreements between the United States and China, noting that Beijing has a completely different approach to global affairs.
"They say that it is necessary to create a bilateral Chinese‑American alliance to govern this world on the basis of bipolar agreements. I do not think this is a reliable model. First, China promotes a completely different philosophy of international relations and its role in those relations," Lavrov stressed.
The International Festival of Youth is taking place in the Russian city of Yekaterinburg from September 11-17. RIA Novosti is the festival's general media partner.
