Lavrov: Words alone are not enough in response to Kyiv’s actions

Lavrov: Russia will launch massive strikes on the targets of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
“Elchi” reports that, according to RIA Novosti, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, speaking on the sidelines of the Russia-ASEAN summit, stated that he has long been convinced that words are not enough in response to the actions of the Kyiv authorities.
The minister emphasized that “it is no coincidence that the President announced some time ago, following another trick by the Kyiv terrorist, that we will now regularly launch massive group strikes against targets that directly affect the combat readiness of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.”
On June 18, First Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Defense Committee Alexey Zhuravlev told Gazeta.Ru that the Russian Armed Forces should strike Ukrainian transport infrastructure to prevent drone attacks on Russian regions. The deputy emphasized that it is necessary to start a “serious fight” and thereby accelerate Kyiv’s surrender.
State Duma Defense Committee member, Lieutenant General Viktor Sobolev, had previously expressed the opinion that to protect Russian energy facilities from attacks by the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Russia must strengthen offensive operations in the Northern Military District and secure access to Ukraine’s western borders.
