Can Ukraine restore its pre-war borders? Is Russia testing NATO with aerial incursions in Europe? Russia will give'decisive response' if provoked by the West, says Lavrov Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has warned NATO and the EU that "any aggression against my country will be met with a decisive response". Speaking at the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York on Saturday, Lavrov insisted that Moscow had no plans to attack the West, but that it was prepared to act if provoked. "Russia is testing their ability to defend themselves and trying to influence societies so people begin to ask: 'If we can't protect ourselves, why should we keep supporting Ukraine?'. This is intended to reduce assistance to Ukraine, especially ahead of winter," he wrote on X. Moscow continues to deny violating Polish airspace with drones and Estonian airspace with fighter jets this month.
Russia has no intention of attacking EU or Nato states, foreign minister says
Russia's foreign minister Sergei Lavrov says his country has no intention of attacking EU or Nato member states but warned of a decisive response to any aggression directed towards Moscow. In a wide-ranging speech delivered at the UN General Assembly on Saturday, Lavrov said threats against Russia by Western countries were becoming increasingly common. He also took aim at Israel, saying that while Russia condemned the 7 October 2023 attacks by Hamas, there was no justification for the brutal killings of Palestinians in Gaza, or for plans to annex the West Bank. Israel has previously said its Gaza operation is necessary to defeat Hamas. At least 65,926 people have been killed by Israeli strikes, according to the Hamas-run health ministry, while about 1,200 people were killed and 251 others were taken hostage in the 7 October attacks.
