Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Sunday that World War Three has already begun in a new form, accusing the West of provoking global conflicts to maintain its dominance and weaken Russia. Speaking at the “Territory of Meanings” forum, Lavrov alleged that NATO’s actions in Ukraine, along with previous Western interventions in the Middle East, marked the start of a broader confrontation aimed at Russia’s strategic defeat. He claimed that Moscow is now fighting alone against the collective West and warned that Germany and other NATO members are preparing for direct military engagement with Russian forces
