Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s answers to media questions
Minsk, May 24, 2024

Question: How would you comment on Mike Johnson’s statement about the use of US-supplied weapons to strike Russia?

Sergey Lavrov: They said for a long time that they were not supporting it. They also said they did not allow it and advised [Ukraine] against using it. But in fact, they are waging war against us. American weapons have already been used to strike various targets outside the conflict zone.

Washington is trying to make reassuring statements for the local public or for NATO members, to pretend the decision has not yet been made. It is a trick. We are certain that American and other Western-supplied weapons are being used to strike targets on Russian territory, primarily civilian infrastructure and residential areas. They are responsible for what these weapons have done.
