Russia's top diplomat, Sergei Lavrov, delivered a speech at the UN General Assembly on Saturday, warning against attempting to defeat Russia through military means due to its nuclear capabilities. He accused Western nations of using Ukraine as a tool to strategically undermine Moscow and prepare Europe for war.
Russia 's top diplomat warned Saturday against “trying to fight to victory with a nuclear power,” delivering a U.N. General Assembly speech packed with condemnations of what Russia sees as Western machinations in Ukraine and elsewhere — including within the United Nations.
He didn’t specify whether that would bring a nuclear response, but he stressed that Russia could use nuclear weapons in response to a conventional assault that posed a “critical threat to our sovereignty.” The United States and the European Union called his statements “irresponsible.” There was no immediate response to Lavrov's address from the U.S., which had a junior diplomat taking notes in its assembly seat as he spoke.
