/tass/. The West's desire to inflict a strategic defeat on Russia requires Moscow to take all necessary retaliatory steps, including in the military sphere, to ensure the security of the Union State of Russia and Belarus. This was stated on Friday by the permanent Representative of the Russian Federation to the UN Vasily Nebenzia, speaking at a meeting of the Security Council of the world organization.
"Against the background of NATO's openly declared desire to inflict a strategic defeat on Russia, it is obvious that such actions require us to take all necessary retaliatory steps, including in the military sphere, to ensure the security of the Union State of Russia and Belarus," Nebenzia said. - It is in this direction that the measures announced by the President of Russia, which so frightened the regime of [Vladimir], are going Zelensky and his Western sponsors."
"Or did you seriously expect that we would not respond properly to your provocative aggressive actions?" - the diplomat noted.
