Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has warned the US that it must understand what its red line is in the Ukraine war. Speaking to Russian news agency TASS on Wednesday, he said that the US is now losing its sense of restraint towards Russia, which is not good for the relationship between the two countries. In the interview, Lavrov alleged that the US has crossed the red line in supplying weapons to Ukraine.
Russia warns America
The Russian Foreign Minister said in an interview that America should understand that Russia's red line is not something that can be messed with and they know this very well. Lavrov said that this move of America can create serious tension between Russia and America and it will have serious consequences. Lavrov said that if America continues to supply weapons to Ukraine and does not back down from its position, then Russia will also take tough steps to protect its interests, which will not be good for global stability.
What was the reason for Russia's displeasure?
In recent months, Ukraine has carried out attacks inside Russia using US weapons, causing a lot of damage to Russia. These attacks are now increasing. A few days ago, Ukraine captured the city of Kursk inside the Russian border, raising global apprehensions that Russia has been left behind in the war. Amidst all these developments, the statement of the Russian Foreign Minister is being monitored.
Russia-Ukraine War and America
The ongoing conflict in Ukraine has further escalated geopolitical tensions globally. Since Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022, Western countries have provided Ukraine with extensive military and economic aid. In particular, the United States has provided Ukraine with large-scale military assistance, including weapons, ammunition, and other equipment. Russia views this as a serious threat to its security and sovereignty, with US and European military aid preventing Russia from achieving the success it hoped for in the war. The war continues after two and a half years.
