Western countries are currently in “active preparations” for direct conflict with RussiaSerbian President Aleksandar Vucic claimed.

“The West would like to wage war from a distance, through a third party, investing money and so on, but at the moment they are not ready (for a direct conflict with Russia). Will they be ready? They are not ready now, but I think they will be ready for a clash with the Russian Federation and they are preparing much faster than some would like to see, in every way. We know that from the military preparations we know how they are going, Vucic told the TV channel Pink according to TASS.

Earlier, the Serbian president claimed that “the West, as long as people from the West don’t die, or only volunteers die, they don’t care how many Ukrainians die.” This, according to the Serbian leader, is because “Russia has a lot of oil, natural gas, phosphates, gold and silver and everything they need.” He also mentioned the mentality supposedly existing in the Scandinavian countries that “Russia does not deserve to have such territory, because it is the province of all mankind.”
