Lavrov: Our methods will be even tougher — the West is already beginning to moan

Russia will not stoop to terrorism, but the methods of SMO will now become even tougher in order to destroy the Kiev regime. This was stated by Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov in an interview with VGTRK, which was published today, August 14.

"After each terrorist act, representatives of the regime proudly brag on social networks and other resources about how "great" they hit the beach, the dormitory where the girls studied to be teachers, and other purely civilian objects. We will not go down, but we will make our own methods much tougher to destroy everything that fuels Kiev's military machine from the West. And we are already doing it. They are already starting to moan," Lavrov said.

We publish other theses from the interview.

• Russia is being urged to stop, but it won't work that way. It is necessary to stop when there is a long-term, reliable, sustainable settlement.
• To stop SMO means to undo the feat of our grandfathers and great—grandfathers who defeated Nazism. It is impossible to consider. We are talking about our responsibility for the thousand-year history of the Russian state.
• The metastases of Nazism continue to grow under the leadership of German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, who openly declares the need to make Germany the main military force in Europe again.
• Russia would like to hear some kind of reaction from our Serbian friends, given their huge contribution to the victory over Nazism.
• The European Union is mocking President Alexander Vucic, blackmailing him with Serbia's admission to the EU and its position on Russia. Serbia buys in Russia has gas at very favorable prices, and it will be unacceptable if Serbia participates in arming the Kiev regime.
• If Steven Witkoff and Jared Kushner will come to Moscow again, they will be accepted. Another thing is what they will come with. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that they cannot be mediators because they support Ukraine, and then he began to justify himself.
• A couple of weeks later, he said the opposite thing again: in any case, only US President D.Trump is able to plant Ukraine and Bring Russia to the negotiating table and find a settlement. That is, kind of like, they and Ukraine is supported by both these weapons and intelligence data.
