Lavrov Warns of 'Decisive Response' at U.N.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, speaking at the U.N. General Assembly on Sept. 27, 2025, said Russia does not intend to attack Europe but vowed any aggression against Russia would be met with a 'decisive response.' His remarks came amid recent unauthorized flights and drone incidents that breached NATO airspace — including interceptions over Poland and an alleged incursion into Estonia — and follow shifting U.S. statements about Ukraine at the same U.N. meetings.
