Russia’s Lavrov Threatens Europe With a ‘Very Short’ War

Lavrov repeated Moscow’s warning that foreign troops in Ukraine would be treated as a declaration of war, while rejecting any settlement short of Russia’s stated goals.

  • On Wednesday, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov warned that any conflict with Europe would be "very short" if European countries attacked Russia first, while insisting Moscow has no intention of initiating hostilities.
  • Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski claimed on Monday that NATO holds "overwhelming superiority" in air power, asserting the alliance could defeat Russia "quickly" with about 2,500 military aircraft.
  • Kremlin aide Nikolai Patrushev retorted on Tuesday that Polish statehood would cease to exist within "two or three days" if Warsaw entered military conflict, dismissing Sikorski's assessment as "amateurish."
  • Regional tensions escalated on Tuesday as Denmark reported a Russian warship fired flares at a military helicopter without warning, while Moscow countered that Danish aircraft performed dangerous manoeuvres near its fleet.
  • European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen proposed creating a European Security Council on Wednesday to establish an "emergency security protocol" for coordinating responses to hybrid attacks among EU partners.
