Russian Foreign Minister warns to not 'underestimate' the dangers of nuclear war

On Monday evening, the Foreign Ministry broadcasted an interview with Sergeĭ Viktorovich Lavrov on their Telegram channel. TheRussian minister warned the international authorities to not underestimate Russia and then proceeded to propose the threats of a nuclear war.

Nuclear War

Lavrov, however, stressed that he is reluctant to pursue the possibility of nuclear war and would even want to stop the situation from escalating any further. He said, as quoted by Reuters:

I would not want to elevate those risks artificially. Many would like that. The danger is serious, real. And we must not underestimate it.

But he hints that the threat to Russia from different directions is forcing his hand to consider the nuclear war threats.

NATO’s aid

The involvement of nuclear threats was compared to the 1962 Cuban missile crisis. He also spoke about NATO’s involvement in supplying weaponry to Ukraine. He stated that:

Of course, these weapons will be a legitimate target for Russian forces. How could it be otherwise? When NATO enters into a de facto war with Russia through a proxy and arms that proxy, you do what you have to do in war.

The Russian minister's threat didn’t go unnoticed. On the same evening, the Ukrainian foreign minister spoke out on Twitter, saying:

Russia is losing its last hope of deterring the world from supporting Ukraine. Hence the talk of the 'real' danger of a third world war. This only means that Moscow is feeling the defeat in Ukraine. That is why the world needs to redouble support for Ukraine so that we can prevail and ensure European and global security.
