Lavrov’s chilling warning in English: Russia threatens Europe as Trump arm-twists NATO into line

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has issued a stark warning to Europe, suggesting that any further escalation, NATO expansion, or Western involvement in the Ukraine war could trigger grave consequences for European security. Lavrov's remarks come as President Trump is pressuring NATO members to fall in line on defence spending and strategy, tightening US control over the alliance and deepening fears of a harder East–West confrontation on the continent.
