British Chief of Staff Carter said that Russia does not want to start a real war 
Russia is ready to use all the tools to achieve its own goals, but does not want to unleash a real war. His words are quoted by RIA Novosti.
He noted that the Kremlin intends to get what it wants using different global strategies, “in a much more delicate way,” and not by military action.
On November 13, Carter said that at present there is greater tension between Russia and the Western countries than during the Cold War. According to him, this could lead to war due to “accident.” amid fears of an invasion allegedly prepared by Russia.
