- The best diplomat in Russia is addressed to the UN in the middle of the rise in the increase in Europe.
- He warns against militarist rhetoric, plays the incursions of the drone.
- US military action near Venezuela “alarming”, he said.
Russian Minister for Foreign Affairs Sergei Lavrov, told the West on Saturday that any assault against Moscow would be confronted with a “decisive response”, warning against attempts to lower planes in Russian air space and accusing Germany of militarist rhetoric.
While the Russian war raged in Ukraine, tensions have risen along the eastern NATO flank in recent weeks when Estonia said that Moscow had sent three fighter planes to its air space and that NATO war planes have shot down Russian drones in Poland.
“Any assault against my country will be greeted by a decisive response.
The Russia’s Airsie Air Incursions has annoyed Russia from Eastern European countries, where Russia has been considered the greatest threat since the end of the Cold War. Hopes have attenuated themselves from the imminent end to the Moscow War in Ukraine.
US President Donald Trump said this week that he had approved the idea of shooting Russian planes that violated NATO airspace, which is part of a rhetorical change that saw him make fun of the military performance of Russia in Ukraine and call him a paper tiger.
Lavrov postponed Trump’s most recent remarks at a press conference which followed his speech from the General Assembly, but issued a warning for any decision against planes in Russia.
“If there are attempts to chase a flying object, any object … In our airspace, then I think that people will regret a lot of having undertaken such a blatant violation of our territorial integrity and our sovereignty,” he said.
He said only the “politically blind” would expect Ukraine one day to the borders it had before Russia invaded in February 2022, an indirect response to Trump’s assertion that Kyiv could resume all his occupied lands from Russia.
Lavrov also distinguished the German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, referring to what he said to be a “militarist rhetoric” and declared that Moscow was alarmed by remarks of politicians in the EU and NATO capitals of a Second World War as a “probable scenario”.
Russia hopes for “frank dialogue”
Despite the vision of NATO and the European Union, Lavrov clearly indicated that Moscow remained hope of “frank dialogue” with the United States under Trump despite the recent exchange position of the American president.
The United States and Russia, he said, will hold a third cycle of talks in the coming months aimed at improving the operations of the other’s embassy, which have been seriously reduced to a decade of diplomatic expulsions and other diplomatic borders.
Lavrov met on Wednesday the US Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Wednesday on the sidelines of the annual rally of the world leaders of the United Nations General Assembly.
Lavrov said that he had not seen economic relations between Russia and India as threatened because Trump had placed prices on India products, calling for computer science and China to stop buying Russian oil.
Russia concerned by an American accumulation near Venezuela
Despite his prudent tone on Trump, Lavrov expressed his alarm in the face of an American naval accumulation and military action in international waters around Venezuela to fight against drug cartels, describing the situation as “very serious”.
Without naming the United States, Lavrov wondered if “some creative actors” could try to use a United Nations Security Council resolution project to create a wider international force to combat gangs in Haiti to justify an attack in Venezuela.
The draft text considered by the 15 members’ body was highlighted by the United States and Panama. He needs at least nine votes and no veto from Russia, China, the United States, France or Great Britain.
“I cannot exclude that some creative actors might think about obtaining a mandate from the Security Council and later say that there are Haiti gangs hosted in Venezuela. I cannot exclude this,” said Lavrov.
