Glimpses of peace in the relationship between Russia and NATO. Hope comes directly from Kremlin Foreign Minister Sergej Lavrov, who announces the possibility of a possible meeting between the leaders. But Lavrov also talks about the nuclear deterrent Russia could use just in case it defends its own territory.
Russia does not rule out the possibility of a meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Joe Biden on the sidelines of the next G20 and will evaluate the proposal if it arrives. The statement was made by Russian Foreign Minister Sergej Lavrov, in an interview with TV station Rossiya 1. Russia, Lavrov added, always welcomes any proposal for a conversation aimed at achieving peace.
Regarding nuclear weapons: “The President of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin, has repeatedly stated that in our nuclear doctrine, we only provide retaliatory measures aimed at preventing the destruction of the Russian Federation as a result of direct nuclear attacks or other types of weapons that put the very existence of the Russian state in jeopardy,” Lavrov said in response to a question about the likelihood of a nuclear conflict, as reported by Tass.
Then, the background on the involvement of the United States in the struggle for the conquest of the sphere of influence in Eastern Europe. The United States is, in fact, “involved for a long time” in the conflict in Ukraine and is arming the Kiev regime – concludes the Kremlin Foreign Minister – It seems to me that the Americans have indeed participated in this war for a long time . They are not only arming Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and his regime, but also providing satellite intelligence data ».
