He also recalled that the presidents of Russia, Vladimir Putin, and the United States, Joe Biden, signed a declaration in 2021 that there can be no winners in a nuclear war

Russia has warned this Thursday that there is an “enormous” risk that a conflict with conventional weapons between atomic powers degenerates into nuclear war.
In a press conference, the Russian Foreign Minister, Sergei Lavrov, assured that Russia not only subscribes to the inadmissibility of a nuclear war; also calls for the prevention of any armed conflict between countries that possess such weapons.
Lavrov recalled that the presidents of Russia, Vladimir Putin, and the United States, Joe Biden, signed a declaration in June 2021 that There can be no winners in a nuclear war. document that five nuclear powers later signed.
Also Lavrov has defended airstrikes on energy facilities in Ukraine since they serve as a support base for the Ukrainian forces and the “nationalist battalions”.
“These infrastructures support the combat capacity of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and nationalist battalions”Lavrov has justified during a televised press conference in which he has assured that these attacks actually seek to minimize the number of civilian victims.
At the same time, Lavrov has criticized “hysteria” and the hypocrisy of Western governments and media, since these attacks on this type of facilities have been perpetrated by both NATO and the United States in previous conflicts.
“Compare the hysteria now unleashed in the Western media with what happened when the United States bombed Iraq”Lavrov has compared, citing as an example the NATO bombing of a Belgrade television center during the Balkan war.
