Direct War Ukraine - Russia, live breaking news
Russian Foreign Minister
Sergei Lavrov
warned on Wednesday that the deployment of NATO peacekeepers in Ukraine would provoke military clashes between troops from
Russia
and the
Atlantic Alliance
.
"That will entail direct clashes between
Russian
and
NATO
forces , something that we all would not like to avoid, but that we declare should not happen in principle,"
Lavrov
told a university lecture.
Lavrov considers the pacifying proposal of
Poland
, one of the main allies of
Kiev
and the destination of millions of refugees from the neighboring country, a provocation, and which he also accuses of harboring territorial ambitions in
Ukraine
.
In addition to mentioning the alleged
NATO
plans to send
a battalion made up of the three Baltic republics to
Ukraine , he recalled that he was also opposed at the time to the deployment of an international force in
Donbas
.
Lavrov
has also denounced the statements that point to the need to deploy
Stinger
anti-aircraft missiles in
Ukraine
, which, he has warned, would suppose "a colossal threat".
In turn, the head of Russian diplomacy has accused the United States of being interested in prolonging "as much as possible" the current Russian "allied military operation" in
Ukraine
.
"They hope to continue supplying
Ukraine
with weapons . It seems that they want to keep us in a combat state as much as possible," he said.
He has also attacked
Kiev
for continually changing its position in the negotiations, during which, he has suggested, the Ukrainian delegation goes hand in hand with the
United States
.
He frames in this strategy the latest speeches by the President of
Ukraine
,
Volodimir Zelenski
, before the Parliaments of various Western countries.
"The delay (of the negotiations) is aimed at dramatizing the situation, at allowing
Zelensky
in his khaki shirt to intervene before the Parliaments of the world and after the speech, with tears in his eyes, demand
NATO
's interference again ", has commented.
Lavrov
assures that
Moscow
is not opposed to the mediation of Western countries, but stresses that there are "absolute red lines" that cannot be crossed.
As for the attempts to isolate the country from him and the US pressure for all world powers to join Western sanctions, he has replied: "We have many friends."
