Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov advises the West to study Russia’s updated nuclear doctrine. This was stated today, November 19, when commenting on the information that Ukraine has already launched an attack against the Bryansk region with American missiles.
The statement was made at a press conference following the G20 summit held in Rio de Janeiro.
“The fact that ATACMS was used repeatedly in the Bryansk region tonight is, of course, a sign that they want an escalation. And without the Americans using these high-tech missiles… Putin I have talked about this many times: it is impossible.” – pointed out the minister.
At the same time, he noted that there is still no official confirmation of the United States’ decision to deeply attack the Russian Federation, the information comes from the media;
“I just can’t confirm it, because everyone writes as if it’s a done deal. But even borrell He said that this was already official, and the Europeans, they say, discussed it, but decided that everyone would decide for themselves whether they would allow the Ukrainians to use their long-range weapons. “I will not speculate on this issue,” Lavrov said. — Today the foundations of our nuclear doctrine have been officially published. There everything has been confirmed and what the president expressed publicly a little over a month ago has already been enshrined in law. I hope this doctrine is read there. And not the way they read the Charter of the United Nations, seeing there only what they need, but the doctrine in all its integrity and interconnection.”
Sergei Lavrov noted that in this sense he considers the position of the German Chancellor Olaf Scholz responsible for refusing to supply Taurus to Kyiv.
“We all see the same facts, we analyze them as diplomats, as journalists. If, as you rightly said, Scholz has this position of principle, despite the fact that someone from the “greens” is against him, Merz, “The CDU shoots critical arrows and demands that this permission be given, but I believe that this position of Scholz is a responsible position,” said the minister. “The fact that it differs from the position of both the British and the French is the same.”
At the same time, Russia is strictly committed to the position of preventing a nuclear war, Lavrov emphasized.
“We are convinced that nuclear weapons are, above all, a means of deterrence, of preventing any nuclear war. “That’s how we approach this situation.” – said.
