Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov claimed Monday that Britain is fully involved in Ukraine’s attacks against Russia, warning of a growing terrorist threat and criticising Western missile policies.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov on Monday accused the United Kingdom of being “100% involved” in what he described as Ukraine’s “terrorist attacks” on Russian territory.
Speaking at the Future Forum-2050 in Moscow, Lavrov alleged that Kyiv would be incapable of carrying out such operations without direct assistance from London.
“These threats are serious enough,” Lavrov said. “Clearly, all of this is done by the Ukrainian side, but it would be helpless without support.”
He warned that the risk of terrorist activity is growing and vowed that Russian authorities would act to neutralize these threats. “We will do everything to ensure that they are suppressed and do not harm our citizens,” he added.
Addressing broader geopolitical tensions, Lavrov said that Russia-US relations had marginally improved since President Joe Biden left office. However, he criticized Washington’s refusal to consider a moratorium on the deployment of intermediate- and short-range missiles—a proposal reintroduced by Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Lavrov referenced the now-defunct Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty, a 1987 Cold War-era agreement between the US and Soviet Union that banned ground-launched missiles with ranges between 500 km and 5,500 km. The US withdrew from the treaty in 2019, citing alleged Russian violations—claims Moscow denies.
Since the treaty's collapse, Russia has declared a unilateral moratorium on deploying such missiles in Europe but has expressed concern over NATO's missile deployments and the lack of a reciprocal gesture from the West.
