(ANSA) - ROME, JULY 20 - As long as the West continues to send Ukraine "weapons with ever longer range, such as Himars missiles", Russia will move "even further strategic objectives" in Ukraine compared to the current line.
Foreign Minister Serghei Lavrov said this in an interview with Russian Today.
"This is because - he added - we cannot allow that in that part of Ukraine that will be controlled by Zelensky or whoever will replace him, there are armies that represent a direct threat to our territory and the territory of those republics (of the Donbass, ed) that have declared their independence ".
