Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov used the NATO and the European Union to accuse the United Nations General Assembly (UGNA) of Moscow’s most prominent warnings to the West to accuse the NATO and the European Union to blame a “real war” against Russia.
Lavrov positioned Russia as the heir to the role of the Soviet Union’s role in defeating Nazism and global sovereignty in defense. It was opened to World War II with historical references. He accused the United States of the interventions in Yugoslavia, Iraq and Libya of dismantling the post -war principles and warned that it took place in the Middle East.
While Hamas condemned 7 October 2023, Lavrov said that Israel’s campaign in Gaza was the “collective punishment” of civilians and associated the conflict with what has been described as the use of uncontrolled Western force for decades.
Lavrov accused NATO of ignoring the decades of security commitments. Russia’s plans to attack NATO countries insisted on “never owned or not”, and Western warnings called the Russian attack “provocations”.

By choosing the claims of European leaders as “false depictions” of Moscow’s intentions, President Vladimir Putin reiterated his denials that Russia plans to hit NATO or EU.
At the same time, Lavrov issued a direct threat, saying, “There should be no doubt between NATO and the EU,” Lavrov said, “Any aggression against my country.”
The warning comes in the midst of increasing tension during the eastern wing of NATO. Estonia recently accused Russian jets of violating the airspace, and NATO forces dropped drones on Poland. The United States replied to the UN Security Council, saying that “the NATO region will defend every centimeter”. Against this fund, Lavrov’s speech underlined Moscow’s effort to fill any conflict with NATO as an existential threat to Russia itself.
The timing also intersects with a change in the US discourse. President Donald Trump, who met with President of Ukrainian Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the beginning of this week, harden his tone in the war by telling journalists about Ukraine be able to And compulsory Take back all your land.

This is divided into negotiations after a month after the US and Russian officials have rare negotiations in Alaska. Lavrov’s UN address seemed to have been calibrated against Trump’s new line, and reminded Washington that Moscow’s war was not a distant conflict, but as a direct conflict containing the United States.
Ukrainian President Zelenskyy warned the General Assembly that the inability to stop Russia will release the “most destructive weapon race so far.”
After a speech, Lavrov strengthened his message at a press conference and answered a question about the Western calls to hit Russian planes that could violate the European airspace. He rejected his previous words, stating that Trump was a “paper tiger” of Russia and that the president has already walked back.
He then published a sharp warning: “If you have attempts to lower any flying object… In our lands, in our airspace, then people will regret very much, they will take such a terrible violation of our regional integrity and sovereignty.”

Lavrov also targeted the US sanctions on Iran and detonated the Western efforts to restore or tighten restrictions as “illegal” and that Washington defined as “blackmail and pressure” strategy.
He said that the West has sabotaged diplomatic options to revive the 2015 nuclear agreement and refused to refuse the manipulation in the UN Security Council to isolate Tehran.

Beyond Europe, Lavrov described Russia in line with a rising “global majority” against Western dominance, calling for more representation at the BRICS, Shanghai Cooperation Organization and Africa and Latin America UN Security Council.
He accused Washington of using sanctions and military blocks to protect hegemony and claimed that Russia defended sovereignty for the global South countries.
