Russian President Vladimir Putin warned that Moscow is prepared for a potential war with Europe, although he claims he does not desire direct conflict. During a Russia-Africa summit, he discussed military escalation risks and stated that there would be no winners in such a scenario. Putin emphasized that Western nations have failed to achieve a strategic defeat of Russia, which he believes is unlikely to happen by 2030. He also expressed concerns about tensions in the Baltic Sea and their potential escalation, particularly in light of the ongoing Middle East crisis. The situation has raised security alerts in NATO countries, with Germany increasing its military conflict risk assessment regarding Russia.
