Britain: Armed forces minister sees no imminent threat of escalation of war in Ukraine

The British Minister of the Armed Forces James Hippie today assessed that there is no imminent threat from the escalation of the war in Ukraine, rejecting comments of the Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov as a leontarian.

Earlier, Lavrov called on the international community not to underestimate the potential dangers of a nuclear conflict, saying that NATO arms supplies to Ukraine meant “essentially” that the Atlantic Alliance was embroiled in a two-pronged war with Russia.

“Lavrov’s trademark for 15 years or so as Russia’s foreign minister is this kind of lionism. I do not think there is an imminent threat of escalation at the moment. What the West is doing to support its allies in Ukraine “Everything we do is designed to avoid a direct confrontation with Russia,” Hippie told BBC television.

Speaking to Sky News, Hippie said that while NATO is strengthening its eastern wing, as an organization it does not provide military assistance.

“The donor community is not NATO. The donor effort is something that is made up of countries, some of which are actually members of NATO, but others are not … it is not NATO that provides military assistance.” he noted.

According to Hippie, it is perfectly legal for Ukraine to disrupt Russian supply lines and fuel supplies. The British minister acknowledged that the weapons provided by the international community now have a range to be used in Russia.

“This is not necessarily a problem. There are many countries in the world that handle equipment that has been imported from other countries and when they use this equipment you do not blame the country that made them, you blame the country that used them,” Hippie told the radio station. Times Radio.
