From Fox News:
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov used his address to the United Nations General Assembly (UGNA) Saturday to deliver one of Moscow’s starkest warnings yet to the West, accusing NATO and the European Union of waging a “real war” against Russia. Lavrov opened with sweeping historical references to World War II, positioning Russia as the heir to the Soviet Union’s role in defeating Nazism and defending global sovereignty. He accused the U.S. of dismantling those postwar principles through interventions in Yugoslavia, Iraq and Libya and warned that the same was happening today in the Middle East.
While condemning Hamas’s Oct. 7, 2023, attack, Lavrov said Israel’s campaign in Gaza amounted to “collective punishment” of civilians, linking the conflict to what he portrayed as decades of unchecked Western use of force.
