In addition, in the event of “joining” Ukrainian territories to the Russian Federation, all Russian laws will also apply to them.

All Russian laws and doctrines, including nuclear, will also apply to the territories of Ukraine annexed through fake ” referendums ” if they are enshrined in the Russian Constitution.

This was stated by Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov at a press conference at the UN, Russian media reported.

“The entire territory of the Russian Federation, which is enshrined and can be additionally enshrined in the Constitution of the Russian Federation, is certainly under the full protection of the state, this is absolutely natural. All laws, doctrines, concepts, strategies of the Russian Federation apply to its entire territory,” Lavrov said. in response to a journalist’s question about plans to annex “new territories”.

Commenting on the statements about the inevitable response of the United States in the event of “joining” the Ukrainian occupied territories with Russia, Lavrov noted that he did not want to “engage in some kind of gloomy forecasts.”

At the same time, the head of the Russian Foreign Ministry said that “by supplying weapons to Kyiv, the United States and the European Union and NATO cannot claim the status of neutrals, that is, they cannot claim that they are not participating in the conflict.

According to him, the United States is sending weapons to Ukraine, providing intelligence and satellite data, and this, they say, means that they are already “a party to the conflict.”

Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Dmitry Kuleba has already responded to these statements by the head of the Russian Foreign Ministry. He called such statements completely unacceptable.

“Completely unacceptable and irresponsible statements by Putin and Lavrov about the possible use of nuclear weapons. Ukraine will not succumb. We call on all nuclear states to speak out now and make it clear to Russia that such rhetoric endangers the world and will not be tolerated,” Kuleba wrote on Twitter ” “.
