Lavrov Calls UK Statements Incitement Of Kiev To Commit Terrorist Attacks In Russia

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on Wednesday that statements made by UK officials can be considered as direct incitement of the Kiev regime to commit terrorist attacks in Russia.



UK Foreign Secretary James Cleverly has evaded a question about Kiev's involvement in the Tuesday drone attacks on Moscow, but stated that Ukraine has the right to "project force beyond its borders to undermine Russia's ability to project force into Ukraine itself."

"Yesterday, or the day before yesterday, I think, the UK foreign secretary said on tv and on social media that the UK does not encourage strikes on Russian territory, but the Ukrainian authorities, the Ukrainian armed forces know better how they want to ensure their territorial integrity. (This is) direct incitement to what the Kiev terrorists are doing," Lavrov said at a press-conference in Mozambique.

  •  The US has been encouraging Ukraine to strike Russian territory, despite claiming the opposite, Russian Ambassador to Washington Anatoly Antonov said on Wednesday.


Antonov argued that Washington’s statements in response to the recent drone raid on the Russian capital “sound like an encouragement for Ukrainian terrorists”, RT reported.

“Doesn’t the [US] administration understand that no one believes their slogans about non-support of Ukrainian strikes on Russian territory?!” the diplomat said, according to a statement on the embassy’s Telegram channel.

Antonov’s remarks came after a White House spokesperson told reporters that “as [a] general matter, we do not support attacks inside of Russia”. The goal of the drone attack was to “sow fear among Russians” and undermine trust in the authorities, he said.

“The Russian Federation has been sentenced to ‘capital punishment’ in the [West] long ago. But simply, they don’t have it in them to achieve this goal,” the ambassador stated.
