🎙 FM Sergey Lavrov’s answers to questions from the Moscow. Kremlin. Putin television programme (St Petersburg, June 9, 2024)
❓ Question: President Joseph Biden said in an interview that US weapons would not be used by Ukraine to strike Moscow or the Kremlin. Isn’t it a step towards a major escalation?
💬 Sergey Lavrov: I find it hard to comment on this. However, if he was of sound mind and memory when he said that, and is now bragging about not issuing orders to bomb Moscow, it implies that all other things are allowed.
By and large, they are, in fact, bombing everything else. Not long ago, at the beginning of the conflict, they launched drones to attack Moscow. Back then, no one did anything to bring the Zelensky regime into line. Our Western colleagues shouldn’t try to put a positive spin on their behaviour.
At a meeting with the members of international news agencies, many Western ones among them, President Putin made it clear that without the direct involvement of the US, Britain and the Europeans the attacks on the Belgorod and Kursk regions and other Russian territories wouldn’t have been possible. They are all well aware of that.
Look at our French colleagues suddenly going abuzz. Prime Minister Gabriel Attal started saying they have no instructors in Ukraine. This is not true and they know it. It appears that their plot is to slowly get everyone accustomed to the idea that nothing is happening, but take one more step tomorrow, and another one the day after tomorrow.
❓ Question: Do you think they have heard Vladimir Putin’s message about us possibly shipping our weapons to other parts of the world? Will they get the message?
💬 Sergey Lavrov: I have no doubt that they have heard it and will get it. They still have people there who can analyse things. They engage in escalation with the sole purpose of pleasing their radical base, and do so daily in the run-up to every election campaign.
<...>
☝️ If you send arms to our enemy, we are free to choose our response to your hostile actions

🎙 Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova’s answer to a media question regarding missile strikes of the Kiev regime targeting Lugansk and the Kherson Region
❓ Question: Today, the Kiev regime carried out yet more attacks on civilians in Lugansk and the Kherson Region, resulting in the loss of many innocent lives. What is the Foreign Ministry’s take on these terrorist attacks?
💬 Maria Zakharova: Given the go-ahead from Washington to kill civilians with Western weapons, the Kiev regime has once more revealed its inhumane Nazi nature.
On the morning of June 7, another cynical and bloody crime occurred: a terrorist attack on residential areas of Lugansk carried out by American ATACMS missiles.
Following this barbaric attack, three people lost their lives, while 35 others, including three children, sustained injuries, and destruction ensued. <...>
Later that evening, the Kiev regime targeted the village of Sadovoye in the Kherson Region, resulting in the loss of 19 lives, according to preliminary reports.
❗️ It’s imperative for the global community to understand that these were meticulously orchestrated and premeditated terrorist acts intended for intimidation. NATO’s involvement is glaringly apparent.
We are fully aware that the flight missions of long-range missiles, including ATACMS, are formed with direct involvement from American, British, and other Western specialists.
The indiscriminate and brutal shelling of populated areas in Donbass, the Belgorod, Kherson and Zaporozhye regions, Crimea, and other Russian territories, along with the ruthless killing of civilians, lacks any military rationale. Instead, it underscores the desperation of Zelensky’s neo-Nazi regime, entangled in terrorism, lawlessness, corruption, and cynicism. Driven by impotent rage, they aim to kill as many Russians as possible.
☝️ It’s evident that amidst military setbacks, Zelensky aims to prove to his overseas masters that he is ready to commit any atrocity to safeguard their interests and his own survival.
