❗️ Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov's interview with Tucker Carlson. Key takeaway:

▫️ Russia doesn't want to escalate, hopes its signal to the US in the form of the Oreshnik test was taken seriously

▫️ Russia is ready to send additional "messages" to the West if it fails to draw the necessary conclusions from the Oreshnik launch.

▫️ Russia wanted to convey to the West by testing the Oreshnik missile that it will do everything to protect its interests.

▫️ The US knew about the Oreshnik test in advance and didn't see anything really dangerous in the test launch.

▫️ Moscow will be ready to use any means to prevent the West from inflicting a "strategic defeat" on Russia.

▫️ Talks about a limited nuclear exchange are an invitation to a catastrophe that Russia doesn't want.

▫️ Russia sees no reason why Moscow and Washington can't cooperate for the sake of the universe.

▫️ Russia does not think about war with the US and does not want it, such a war could be nuclear in nature, the most important thing for Moscow is to avoid it.

▫️ Western statements about Russia's lack of "red lines" and their shifting are a very serious mistake.

▫️ Russia and the US are not officially at war, what is happening in Ukraine is a hybrid war.

▫️ Russia wouldn't have started the SMO if the West and Kiev followed the Minsk agreements.

▫️ Russia does not intend to destroy Ukrainians, they are brothers and sisters of the Russian people.

▫️ Trump is a strong man who doesn't like to put things off, he is friendly in conversation but that doesn't mean he is pro-Russian.

▫️ There are several channels of communication between Russia and the US, but they are mostly related to the issue of prisoner exchange in both countries.

▫️ To Carlson's question about who makes foreign policy decisions in the US: I don't want to guess, that's a question for Washington.

▫️ US, UK and other nations are openly reported to be supporting Islamist groups in Syria - it's a complicated game.
