“It Is Closer to a Real War”: Lavrov

The relations between Western states and Moscow have come dangerously close to a real war; this statement was made by Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov during his visit to South Africa.

“The conflict with the West can no longer be called hybrid. It is closer to a real war,” Lavrov stated, criticizing Western countries for supplying weapons to Kyiv.

It is noteworthy that earlier Lavrov had also criticized the United States, stating that by threatening other countries not to work with Russia, the U.S. is crossing all red lines.
