Sergey Lavrov, the Russian Foreign Minister, stated that Russia is prepared to use all means necessary to avoid defeat in the war with Ukraine.
According to reports from AFP and other sources, Minister Lavrov mentioned in an interview with Tucker Carlson, a former Fox News anchor, that the United States and its allies should acknowledge that “Russia is prepared to use any means to prevent what they call a ‘strategic defeat.'”
He further warned that they should take seriously the recent test launch of Russia’s new hypersonic missile, the ‘Orenishchik.’
Previously, on the 21st of last month, Russia launched the Orenishchik at Dnipro, Ukraine’s fourth-largest city, and afterward, Russian President Vladimir Putin threatened that it could also be launched at Kyiv, Ukraine’s capital.
However, Lavrov emphasized that they do not wish for a nuclear war with the United States.
Minister Lavrov argued that Russia does not intend to worsen the situation, desires normal relations with the US, and sees no reason why the two countries cannot cooperate.
