Russia Draws A Red Line On Ukraine



Moscow Will Respond To Attack On Russian Interests – Lavrov -- RIA Novosti

MOSCOW, April 23 (RIA Novosti) – Moscow will be forced to respond correspondingly to any actions undermining the interests of Russian citizens, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Wednesday.

“If we are attacked, we would certainly respond,” Lavrov said in an English-language interview with the RT news channel.

“If our interests, our legitimate interests, the interests of Russians have been attacked directly, like they were in South Ossetia for example, I don’t see any other way but to respond in full accordance with international law. Russian citizens being attacked is an attack against the Russian Federation,” the foreign minister said, adding that Russia is not engaged in any military activity that does not fall under international law.
