UN, September 26 - RIA Novosti. Statements by European countries about preparing for war with Russia may ultimately turn into a “self-fulfilling prophecy,” Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said.

“It is Europe that is preparing for war with us. Every day they confirm that by 2030 at the most, we, Europeans, must be ready for war. Such a position may turn out to be a self-fulfilling prophecy,” Lavrov said at a press conference following the high-level week of the UN General Assembly.

He noted that today Europeans are investing a lot of money in the production of weapons.

“And at some stage some adventurer - and there are many of them in these elites now - will say: “Guys, we have accumulated so much, what to do with it? - There is nowhere to go. “But we promised to attack Russia.” In this case, they will attack us because we are not going to," Lavrov added.

The minister recalled the words of Russian President Vladimir Putin in the event of an attack by Europe on Russia: “They won’t come after us.”
