This was stated by the head of the Russian Foreign Ministry during a briefing.

His words are quoted by RIA Novosti.

He noted that Russian troops are disabling Ukrainian energy facilities that help the West pump Ukraine with lethal weapons to kill Russians.

Lavrov also warned of the huge risk of any conflict between states possessing nuclear weapons escalating into a nuclear war.

Earlier, the minister said that Moscow is worried about the rapid evolution of NATO, including in the context of the war unleashed by the West against Russia in Ukraine and global security.
