“All Russian laws and doctrines, including nuclear ones, will apply to the territory joined through the” referendums “in case of their consolidation in the Russian Constitution.” This was stated by the Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.
Commenting on statements about the inevitable response of the United States in the event of the accession of the territories of Ukraine to Russia, Lavrov noted that “he would not have done some gloomy forecasts here.”
He also stated that, supplying weapons to Kyiv, the USA, the European Union and NATO cannot claim the status of neutral, that is, they cannot claim that they are not participating in the conflict.
