What Lavrov said:



“The West is teetering on the brink of a direct military confrontation with nuclear powers because of its support for Ukraine, and this could have catastrophic consequences, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has said,” writes Politika.
Analysis:
Lavrov’s claims of a possible direct military confrontation between the nuclear powers because of the West’s support for Ukraine are not factual. While it is true that the West supports Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, Russian activities in eastern Ukraine are interpreted as a violation of international law. Creating fear of a possible nuclear conflict serves Russian propaganda to destabilise and create distrust of the West through manipulation.
It is important to note that the United States, together with its allies, has politically supported the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine. This support has been expressed through various diplomatic efforts and political initiatives to maintain peace and stability in the region./G.Venhari-The Geopost/
