🎙 Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s response to a question from Vesti news programme (Moscow, August 18, 2026) ❓ Question: The new Prime Minister of Great Britain... 💬 Sergey Lavrov: Britain. ❓ Question: Quite right – Britain. After the Russian Embassy’s statement was read out to him, he said that Britain would continue to support Ukraine 100% and that this would not change. Meanwhile, the British press, citing the UK Ministry of Defence, has published brazen reports claiming that the drone attacks show they are no longer concerned about a possible Russian response. 💬 Sergey Lavrov: I feel sorry for Britain if it intends to stand with Ukraine to the bitter end. As for the substance of our Embassy’s comment, it means only one thing: President of Russia Vladimir Putin has warned that we have the right to act anywhere in the world’s oceans if anyone infringes on our interests or our property. Likewise, we have every right to regard the openly proclaimed direct involvement of British missile forces in strikes against the Russian Federation as participation in the war. ⚠️ With all the consequences that entails.
