Lavrov says the West is playing with fire over Ukraine
Russia is clarifying its nuclear doctrine, Lavrov says

Spy chief: we don't believe the West over Kursk


MOSCOW, Aug 27 (Reuters) - Russia said the West was playing with fire by 
considering allowing Ukraine to strike deep into Russia with Western 
missiles and cautioned the United States on Tuesday that World War Three 
would not be confined to Europe.
Ukraine attacked Russia's western Kursk region on Aug. 6 and has carved 
out a slice of territory in the biggest foreign attack on Russia since 
World War Two. President Vladimir Putin said there would be a worthy 
response from Russia to the attack.
Sergei Lavrov, who has served as Putin's foreign minister for more than 
20 years, said that the West was seeking to escalate the Ukraine war and 
was "asking for trouble" by considering Ukrainian requests to loosen 
curbs on using foreign-supplied weapons.
Since invading Ukraine in 2022, Putin has repeatedly warned of the risk 
of a much broader war involving the world's biggest nuclear powers, 
though he has said Russia does not want a conflict with the U.S.-led 
NATO alliance.
"We are now confirming once again that playing with fire - and they are 
like small children playing with matches - is a very dangerous thing for 
grown-up uncles and aunts who are entrusted with nuclear weapons in one 
or another Western country," Lavrov told reporters in Moscow.
"Americans unequivocally associate conversations about Third World War 
as something that, God forbid, if it happens, will affect Europe 
exclusively," Lavrov said.
Lavrov added that Russia was "clarifying" its nuclear doctrine.
