Those responsible for attacking Russia with US-made missiles will be “punished,” Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has said
Moscow will retaliate against continuing Ukrainian strikes on Russian soil with Western-supplied long-range missiles, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on Wednesday.
His statement came after Kiev fired US-made ATACMS missiles into Russia’s internationally recognized territory, despite an earlier warning from the Kremlin.

“Missile strikes deep inside Russian territory are an escalatory step,” Lavrov told Rossiyskaya Gazeta newspaper. “All of our warnings that these unacceptable actions will be met with an appropriate response have been ignored.”
Those behind attacks on Russian citizens and infrastructure will face a “well-deserved punishment,” the minister warned. He added that “no escalation coming from the enemy will force us to abandon our goals” in Ukraine.
Lavrov reiterated that Moscow remains committed to neutralizing “threats to Russia’s security,” including Ukraine’s aspirations to join NATO.
In a video address last week, Russian President Vladimir Putin said Moscow “reserves the right” to strike countries that allow Ukraine to use Western-supplied arms against Russia.
