Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov says, 'NATO, in essence, is engaged in a war with Russia through a proxy and is arming that proxy. War means war.'
Russia told the world not to underestimate the considerable risks of nuclear war that it said it wanted to reduce and warned that conventional Western weapons were legitimate targets in Ukraine, where battles raged in the east.
Russia had lost its “last hope to scare the world off supporting Ukraine,” Ukraine’s foreign minister Dmytro Kuleba wrote on Twitter after Lavrov’s interview. “This only means Moscow senses defeat.” Russia’s two-month-old invasion of Ukraine, the biggest attack on a European state since 1945, has left thousands dead or injured, reduced towns and cities to rubble, and forced over 5 million people to flee abroad.
The United States is due to host an expected gathering of more than 40 countries this week for Ukraine-related defense talks that will focus on arming Kyiv, US officials said. Blinken said US diplomats would first come to the western city of Lviv and should be back in Kyiv within weeks. Bridget Brink, now US ambassador in Slovakia, will be the envoy.
