Lavrov Just Told the West What’s Coming
Description
Sergey Lavrov just delivered one of the clearest signals yet that Russia has no intention of ending the war on terms acceptable to the West. His remarks come as Ukraine continues deep strikes against Russian military and energy infrastructure, while reports indicate Russia is planning a significant expansion of Mi-8 helicopter production.
At the same time, Moscow is threatening Canada, expanding internet controls, and continuing covert operations abroad. Meanwhile, Europe is accelerating support for Ukraine, and a growing crisis involving Iran threatens to divert Western attention away from the battlefield.
In this video, we examine the evidence that Russia is preparing for a long conflict, what Lavrov's comments reveal about Kremlin thinking, and why developments in the Middle East could have major consequences for Ukraine's future.
