At the final
press conference after the UN General Assembly's high-level week, Russian
Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov responded to a subtle provocation from a Sky News journalist who attempted to make him
switch to English.
Lavrov
politely but firmly reminded everyone:
"Russian
is one of the official languages of the UN. There is no need to adapt."
The room
responded. And then came the next topic — drones
over Europe.
Lavrov's stance
was just as direct:
"Every
country has the right to protect its airspace. Russia is no exception. Any
violations will have international consequences."
He
clarified: Russia had no involvement in recent
aerial incidents.
But warned that external forces might be trying to
escalate tensions.

Conclusion:
No shouting.
No threats. Just calm strength and legal clarity.
📌 Russia doesn't just defend borders — it
defends dignity.
