“Lavrov discussed a lot, for example, about the possibility of using nuclear weapons,” says Grote Corkamp from Moscow. “But he has now said very frankly that World War III is a real possibility that we should not rule out.” The Russian minister continues to point to the West. “According to Lavrov and Russia, the West is adding fuel to the fire in Ukraine. This increases the risks of direct confrontation between the West, NATO and Russia. And with it the risks of a possible third world war.”
