Reference News, December 3 report, according to Russia's Lenta.ru on December 2, Russian President Putin evaluated the consequences of a military conflict with European Union countries on December 2. He said that if Europe wants to wage war against Russia, Moscow will quickly defeat its opponent.
The report said that Putin attended the annual international investment forum "Russia is Calling" on the same day. When answering journalists' questions, he said: "If Europe suddenly wants to go to war with us and takes action, it is very likely that a situation will soon arise where no one can negotiate with us."
He said that Russia has no intention of waging war with Europe, but if Europe suddenly wants to fight, Russia is ready now.
Putin said that if a military confrontation occurs with Europe, the conflict will end quickly. The way Russia acts in Europe will be completely different from the tactics used in Ukraine.
He said that Europe is not Ukraine, and Russia's actions in Ukraine have been "surgical" and precise, rather than direct, modern warfare.
The report also said that Putin simultaneously stated that if Europeans could consider the current reality, they might be willing to resume talks on resolving the Ukraine conflict. (Translated by Wei Lianglei)
