Moscow, October 15 /Xinhua/ — The decision to supply Tomahawk missiles to Kyiv will cause colossal damage to Russia-US relations, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov stated in an interview with Kommersant newspaper.
"Yes, there were statements about Tomahawks, but in this series of statements about the possible delivery of Tomahawks, President Donald Trump, among other comments, mentioned that he does not want escalation," Lavrov noted in an interview. According to the diplomat, delivering Tomahawk missiles to Kyiv would cause "colossal damage to the prospects for normalizing relations between Russia and the United States and breaking the complete impasse into which these relations have been driven by the Joe Biden administration."
As the Russian minister recalled, D. Trump has repeatedly emphasized that this is Biden's war, and he wants to resolve the conflict.
At the same time, S. Lavrov drew attention to Europe's desire to quickly and reliably transform the conflict in Ukraine into "Trump's war." "Deals that are mutually beneficial and achievable in the area of material cooperation and practical projects—that's also something Trump has always been interested in. He's never hidden this, always been open about it. And Europe wants to quickly and reliably transform this into Trump's war," the Russian foreign minister added.
