Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 61823, member: 636"] Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov warned Western nations Saturday that Moscow would respond decisively to any attacks. He cautioned against shooting down aircraft within Russian territory during his United Nations General Assembly address. Lavrov criticized Germany for what he called aggressive language amid rising tensions along NATO borders. Recent airspace violations have strained relations between Russia and Eastern European countries. President Trump supported downing Russian jets that enter NATO airspace, marking a shift in his position toward Moscow. The Russian diplomat denied targeting European Union or NATO members with missiles or drones. Lavrov expressed alarm about American naval operations near Venezuela while maintaining hope for continued talks with Washington. He dismissed expectations that Ukraine could reclaim territories lost since the February 2022 invasion. [/QUOTE]
