Russias top diplomat said the West was engaged in a proxy war with his country that could escalate into a world war with nuclear weapons, as Western nations elevated their commitment to defending Ukraine.
The risk is serious, real. It should not be underestimated, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said in a Russian state-television interview broadcast Monday night. Under no circumstances should a third world war be allowed to happen, he said, adding that there can be no winners in a nuclear war.
Mr. Lavrov said the West was increasing the risk of a bigger war by providing arms to Ukraine: NATO is, in essence, going to war with Russia through a proxy and arming that proxy.
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said Mr. Lavrovs comments were aimed at scaring countries off supporting Ukraine. This only means Moscow senses defeat in Ukraine, he wrote on Twitter. Therefore, the world must double down on supporting Ukraine so that we prevail and safeguard European and global security.

He was not going to be ignored as he shouted General then again, only louder, General. Patton looked backwards and saluted him. Dad turned to his buddy and said I told you Id get that SOB to salute me!

Their reality is shot as also the GQPs. But for Russia, they are killing, maiming, destroying, raping, kidnapping and GOD knows what else horrible things they are doing to Ukraine.
