Any attack on Russia will trigger ‘full-fledged military response,’ Lavrov warns Europe
Russia will respond with all available means in the event of an attack by Europe, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said in an interview with the NTV channel.
“If Europe implements its threats to prepare for war against us and starts attacking the Russian Federation, the president has said it will not be a special military operation on our part.
“It will be a full-fledged military response using all the means at our disposal in accordance with doctrinal documents on this matter,” Mr Lavrov noted.
Russia is committed to finding a diplomatic solution to the Ukraine crisis, Mr Lavrov said during an annual news conference on January 20.
He added that Western countries had deliberately taken steps to undermine efforts to reach peace agreements.
Leaders from Britain, France, and Germany showed no interest in resolving the Ukraine crisis and were unwilling to reach peace agreements about it.
He said that statements from European figures made it clear that they were seriously preparing for a war with Russia.
