Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on Saturday that any positive action taken to Russia would receive a “decisive response”.
The Kremlin may aim to expand its war with Ukraine to other Eastern European countries after some NATO members speculated that the Kremlin had recently flew to Estonia and tracked drones in Polish and Romanian airspace.
“Russia has never and has no such intention to threaten the European borders,” Lavrov said on Saturday.
“However, any aggression against our country will be subject to a decisive response. There is no doubt that NATO and the “EU” (EU) added in a speech at the UN General Assembly in New York on Saturday.
World leaders have been carefully measuring the Kremlin’s efforts to end the war in Ukraine after Russia invaded its neighbors more than three years ago. Lavrov accused NATO and the EU of declaring a “real war” with Russia and directly participating in the conflict in Ukraine, adding that the two multilateral organizations “had directly participated in it,” according to translations from Russian state media.
Russian President Vladimir Putin last met with President Trump in August to try to hold a ceasefire with Ukraine, but negotiations have stalled since they were in Alaska. Since then, Putin has ordered a strike on Kiev, the capital of Ukraine, and launched fatal attacks on other cities in the country.
However, Lavrov claimed on Saturday that Putin’s plan would curb the war in Ukraine.
“The threat of force against Russia is actually planned to attack the North Atlantic Union and the EU, which is becoming increasingly common,” Lavrov said. “President Putin repeatedly debunked this provocation. Russia has never and has no such intention, but any aggression against our country will be responded to a decisive response.”
The Foreign Secretary acknowledged concerns about drones entering foreign airspace and said he knew about efforts to mitigate security threats if boundaries were violated.
“When a drone is not flying on our territory, but if it crosses someone’s borders but leaves our airspace, it may be that everyone has the right to do anything they think is necessary to ensure safety,” Lavrov said in a press conference after the UN remarks.
“But if you try to shoot down any flying object in our territory, airspace, or actually not be able to shoot down any object at all, then I think people will seriously regret it, violating our territorial integrity, our sovereignty.”
