Russia’s foreign minister denies that the country is planning an attack on Europe

In the UN, Russia denies the intention of attacking Europe and threatens possible attackers on the fifth day of debates at the United Nations General Assembly (UN), Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, made accusations against Ukraine, denied that the country is planning an attack on Europe and threatened those who assault Russia. In the UN plenary, Russia’s Foreign Minister, without evidence, accused Ukraine of terrorism against politicians, torture practices, executions and to sabotage nuclear facilities. He said Russia is accused of planning an attack on the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), the Western Military Alliance. He said he never had and will never have that intention. But that any aggression against his country will have what he called “a decisive answer.” Although the Russian government imposes difficult conditions for a meeting between President Vladimir Putin and the Ukrainian Volodymyr Zelensky, Lavrov said Russia is open to dialogue. And to deal with the root of the problem. Lavrov refers to NATO expansion. In 1949, 12 countries created the Military Alliance. The reason was to contain the expansion of the Soviet Union. Since then, the alliance has gained 20 more signatories, strengthening itself. Ukraine for a long time wants to enter the covenant. And Russia understands this as a threat. Therefore, he claims that he had no option but to invade the country to defend himself. In the speech, Lavrov stated that the alliance continues to expand, contrary to what was promised. The Russian minister spoke of Brazil in the topic “UN Security Council reform”, which was aligned with President Lula. Like him, the Russian minister defended changes to the board and the entry of Brazil and India as permanent members. Russia’s foreign minister denies that the country is planning an attack on Europe reproduction JN Lavrov has devoted a good time from the discourse to the war in Gaza. He condemned the attacks of the terrorist group Hamas on October 7, but said there is no justification for what he called “killing Palestinians.” Criticism for war in Gaza was done precisely by the country responsible for the invasion of Ukraine in 2022, resulting in the largest conflict in Europe since World War II. About this, on Tuesday (23), President Donald Trump surprised with a change of position. He said that Ukraine could overcome the war and recover territory. He also stated that Russia is a “paper tiger”, a historical reference that in Brazil we can compare with “dog that borders, does not bite.” Vladimir Putin’s Russian government responded, saying that Russia is a bear (referring to the largest predator in the Arctic).
