The U.S. and its European allies are “directly at war” with Moscow and are using Ukraine as “fodder” in that conflict, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said Saturday as he argued that the U.S.-Russia proxy battle has given way to direct confrontation.
“You can call this whatever you want to call this, but they are directly at war with us. We can call this a hybrid war, but that doesn’t change the reality,” Mr. Lavrov said, according to English-language media reports of his remarks. “They are effectively engaged in hostilities with us, using the Ukrainians as fodder.”
“If we allow Ukraine to be carved up, is the independence of any nation secure?” Mr. Biden said during his address to the U.N. General Assembly in New York. “I would respectfully suggest the answer is no. You have to stand up to this aggression today to deter other would-be aggressors tomorrow.” His comments about direct war between the U.S. and Russia will fuel concern that Moscow, faced with a Ukrainian counteroffensive that seems to be slowly gaining ground, could become more aggressive and perhaps could launch attacks against other targets outside of Ukraine.
