Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov warned that in the event of any military attack by Europe against the Russian Federation, Moscow will respond with all available means.
“If Europe suddenly carries out its threats to prepare for war against us and attacks the Russian Federation, this will not be a special military operation on our part. This will be a full-scale military response with all available means in accordance with the relevant doctrinal documents,” Lavrov emphasized in his remarks.
With these words, he clearly indicated that any direct military action against Russia by European countries would be met with a broad response that went beyond the framework of special military operations.
Lavrov’s remarks come as tensions continue between Russia and some Western countries over Ukrainian issues and Europe’s military support for Kiev.
