Lavrov: threats for nuclear war real

Russian FM Sergey Lavrov says that threats for nuclear war exist. 

Ria Novosti has cited Lavrov as saying that the risks are “artificially boosted, and that the danger is serious.” 

Kyiv says that statements on the nuclear war point at Russia’s loss in Ukraine. 

“Russia loses its last hope to scare the world off supporting Ukraine. Thus the talk of a ‘real’ danger of WWIII. This only means Moscow senses defeat in Ukraine. Therefore, the world must double down on supporting Ukraine so that we prevail and safeguard European and global security,” Ukrainian FM Dmytro Kuleba has tweeted. 

Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24. 

Kyiv is confident they will win the war which Russia cites as a “special operation.”
