Lavrov Warns Europe The New Cold War Is Turning 'Hot'
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on Thursday warned that the new Cold War which has seen Moscow and NATO in a showdown over Ukraine for nearly the past three years is turning into a "hot" East-West conflict, according to the remarks in RIA Novosti.
Lavrov issued the comments before an Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) council meeting in Malta. He said the West is behind a "reincarnation of the Cold War, only now with a much greater risk of a transition to a hot stage."
He further lashed out at US hegemony in different sectors of the globe: "Military exercises are growing with native participation in the South China Sea, in the Taiwan Straits around the Korean Peninsula. Clearly, this is an attempt to destabilize the entire Eurasian continent," the Russian top diplomat asserted.
