Warning in Vienna: “There will be irreversible consequences”

Russia has called on Europe to abandon its policy of preparing for a war with Moscow, warning that failure to do so could lead to irreversible consequences.

TodayPress TV reports, citing TASS, that the warning was issued by Yulia Zhdanova, head of the Russian delegation to the negotiations on military security and arms control in Vienna.

“European countries must abandon their course towards preparing for war with us. We are just one step away from the edge of an abyss, and once we cross it, there will be no turning back,” the diplomat warned.

Zhdanova also said that Russia did not want a war with Europe and had no intention of attacking NATO member states. According to her, Moscow is ready to formalise this position in an official document. However, the diplomat claimed that European countries had shown no initiative in seeking a balance of interests.
