No one wants a nuclear war, but we have Russia has serious weapons — Lavrov

Moscow talks about red lines in the expectation that these assessments and statements will be heard by people who make decisions. This was stated in an interview with Sky News Arabia by Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.

"We are talking about red lines, hoping that smart, decision-making people will hear our assessments and statements. To say that if tomorrow you, they say, do not do what I demand of you, we will press the "red button" is not serious," Lavrov said.

Russia does not want an escalation of the conflict with the West, but at the same time it is clear to everyone that the AFU will not be able to use the long-range weapons supplied to Kiev, he noted.

"No one wants a nuclear war, but we have Russia has weapons that will have very serious consequences for the masters of the Ukrainian regime. These weapons are available, and they are in a state of full combat readiness," the minister stressed.
