Russia Issues Fresh Nuclear Warning, Brings Up 'Suicide Venture' At UN

During the United Nations General Assembly, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov issued a new nuclear warning, following President Putin’s remarks on potential nuclear responses to U.S. and allied threats. Lavrov called the situation a "suicide venture" for Washington. This comes amid heightened tensions between NATO and Russia, with ongoing threats of nuclear escalation tied to the Russia-Ukraine war.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov issued a fresh nuclear warning during the United Nations General Assembly on Saturday days after President Vladimir Putin said he will consider responding to threats by United States and its allies with nuclear weapons. At the UNGA, Lavrov told Washington DC to prepare for a 'suicide venture'.
The new warning comes amid high tensions between NATO and Kremlin since the Russia-Ukraine war began in 2022. The US and its allies have increasingly hinted at a direct conflict with Moscow. Putin and his senior officials have time-and-again threatened nuclear escalation against Kyiv and its Western partners.
Lavrov, speaking at UN, pointed out at the 'pointlessness and dangers of the very idea to fight to victory with a nuclear power like Russia'.
"A goal has been declared to inflict a strategic defeat on Russia - almost like London and Washington planned in May 1945 as they developed 'Operation Unthinkable' on destruction of the Soviet Union even before the end of World War II. Back then, it was a closely held secret. The Anglo-Saxon strategists of today, however, make no secret of their intentions. So far, they expect to defeat Russia with the hands of the illegitimate neo-Nazi Kiev regime, but they already prepare Europe to leap into a suicide venture as well," Lavrov said.
On Wednesday, Putin made key changes to Moscow's nuclear doctrine. It could include responding to a massive missile attack or drones crossings its state border. According to Reuters, the 2020 nuclear doctrine says Russia may use nuclear weapons in the event of a nuclear attack by an enemy or a conventional attack that threatens the existence of the state.
