Russia has issued a terrifying warning to the West as Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov claimed the Kremlin is ready for a war with NATO.
Mr Ryabkov said he doesn’t believe “relations between Russia and NATO will be restored” as Western allies continue to support Ukraine in the wake of the aggression launched by Moscow.
Asked by a journalist whether a war between the Western military alliance and Russia could be expected, he replied: “The choice is entirely on the side of NATO.
“We are ready, as it has already been demonstrated, to defend our national interests with all the means at our disposal.”
Warning intruding into Russian interests represents a “dangerous path”, the official said, according to the Izvestia news outlet: “The people who continue to test us for strength must believe that there are no limits to their own ‘gambling’, in a game of raising the stakes. But they may end up among the losers.”
