Lavrov says European war talk risks becoming self-fulfilling prophecy
Original: European statements about war with Russia could become a "self-fulfilling prophecy" – Russian foreign minister Russian F
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has claimed that statements by European leaders urging preparation for a possible armed confrontation with Russia could themselves provoke a war, calling such rhetoric a potential "self-fulfilling prophecy". His comments come amid heightened tensions over Ukraine and ongoing European discussions about defence readiness and the risk of a wider conflict with Moscow.
Why now: Ongoing tensions over Ukraine keep Russian and European officials' statements about the risk of war in focus.
