Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has issued a stark warning that the United States and Russia are perilously close to entering “direct military conflict.” This alarming statement comes just days before the U.S. presidential election, heightening concerns about global stability.
Lavrov pointed to increasing Russophobia in the U.S. as a key factor driving tensions. He noted that the current administration has implemented more anti-Russian sanctions than any previous one, exacerbating the hostile relationship. With accusations and hostility on the rise, the risk of miscalculation or escalation remains significant.
Despite the impending election, Lavrov indicated that the results will likely not alter Russia’s outlook. He believes that the U.S. will continue its anti-Russian policies, regardless of who takes office. The geopolitical landscape remains fraught with uncertainty, as both nations navigate a delicate balance in a world increasingly marked by conflict and rivalry.
