Russian foreign minister says NATO supplies essentially a proxy war against Russia
In an interview with Russia's Channel One, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said NATO weapons supplied to Ukraine are essentially a proxy war and that Russian troops will consider the Ukrainian warehouses storing the weapons as legitimate targets.
"Of course, these weapons will be a legitimate target for the Russian armed forces, which operate as part of a special armed operation. And warehouses, including in western Ukraine, have become such targets more than once," Lavrov said Monday. "If NATO, in fact, goes to war with Russia, through a proxy, and arms this proxy, then in war as in war."
Lavrov also claimed that "the real position of Ukraine is determined in Washington, London and other Western capitals."
"Therefore, our political analysts say, why talk with [Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy]'s team, we need to talk with the Americans, negotiate with them, reach some kind of agreement," Lavrov said.
