Lavrov Threatens Ukraine with nuclear bomb in case of war in Crimea

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by William769 (a host of the Latest Breaking News forum).

Source: Ukraine Business

Russian Foreign Minister, Sergey Lavrov promised that Russia will use all forces and means against Ukraine if the latter decides to go to war for Crimea. Lavrov made this statement on Wednesday after a meeting with his Italian counterpart, Federica Mogherini.

“I would not advise anyone to do that (attack Crimea – Ed.). We have a doctrine of national security; it very clearly prescribes actions that our country must take in such cases.” said Lavrov.

In 2009, the National Security Concept was revised in Putin’s Russia.

According to this concept, Russia has the right to “use all forces and means at its disposal, including nuclear weapons, to repel any armed aggression.”
In March 2014, Russia illegally occupied Ukrainian Crimea, and “included” it in the Russian Federation.

All international organizations, including the UN General Assembly, PACE, OSCE, the U.S., the EU and Ukraine itself have deemed the occupation illegal and recognize Crimea as Ukrainian territory.

It is not a reputable source even by posting what you posted and here's why from what you posted

"Operating under the purview of the Russian Ministry of Communications and Mass Media, RIA Novosti is headquartered in Moscow and operated about 80 bureaus internationally"

Russian propaganda is not acceptable in LBN.

Thank you for your time in this matter

It is no longer an independent news agency it is an arm of the Russian government under Putin. I'm surprised given your point of view that you did not know this.


Russia's president has abolished the country's state-owned Ria Novosti news agency with no explanation issued to its staff.

Vladimir Putin announced the surprise move on Monday through a decree published on his website, saying the organisation would be replaced by a news agency called "Rossiya Segodnya" (Russia Today).

The new company will focus on "coverage abroad of Russian state policy and public life" with multilingual services as a way of "raising efficiency of state media resources," the document published on the Kremlin website said.

Putin named Dmitry Kiselyov, a controversial figure often accused of being a propaganda mouthpiece and known for openly anti-gay, anti-American, and anti-opposition views, as the head of Russia Today.

"Restoring a fair attitude towards Russia as an important country in the world and one with good intentions - that is the mission of the new structure that I will head," Kiselyov told the state TV broadcaster Rossiya 24.

"When this news first appeared, everyone thought it was a joke," Russian protest leader and widely-followed blogger Alexei Navalny wrote on his Live Journal page. "But no."
