Russia warns Putin can destroy Europe in 'short nuclear war'
- At his final press conference during the 81st United Nations General Assembly in New York, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov claimed European warnings of a Russian attack are "nonsense" and a "self-fulfilling prophecy."
- In a Security Council speech on Sept 23, Lavrov referred to the war in Ukraine as a "special operation," blaming European "shenanigans" for border issues.
- Russian Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev threatened to wipe Lithuania "off the map," while Russia's campaign of drone incursions and cyberattacks against European infrastructure has increased significantly.
- In response, 51 countries signed a joint statement on Sept 23 urging Moscow to agree to a full ceasefire, while President Volodymyr Zelensky warned Russia might target another European country to fracture Western unity.
- Putin claimed on Sept 25 that Russia is "not preparing for any military action against Europe," yet the Kremlin continues to rebuff ceasefire proposals, including Zelensky's public letter to Putin in June.
