Lavrov Blasts British Plot to Lure Russian Pilot into NATO Ambush | APT - video Dailymotion

APT

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov lashed out at the UK after Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) foiled what Moscow described as a UK-Ukraine “provocation plot” to hijack a MiG-31 fighter jet armed with a Kinzhal hypersonic missile. Speaking in Moscow, Lavrov mocked Britain, saying it would be difficult for London to “wash its hands” of the scandal, accusing it of trying to orchestrate a NATO confrontation by framing Russia. The FSB reported that Ukrainian intelligence, allegedly backed by the UK, attempted to recruit Russian pilots to fly the aircraft to a NATO base in Romania — a plan that could have sparked a global crisis. Lavrov also said Moscow was ready to resume work on organising a Putin-Trump summit in Budapest, signaling thawing diplomatic channels despite Western provocations. #russia #lavrov #UK #APT

00:00The memorandum mentioned by the Financial Times journalists is non-paper, a completely

00:08unofficial draft that was sent to our colleagues not after Putin's conversation with Trump,

00:13but several days before.

00:21The purpose of this memorandum was to remind our American colleagues of what was discussed

00:26in Anchorage and what understandings, at least as we believed, and the Americans did not

00:31deny, were reached during the meeting between the presidents of Russia and the United States.

00:41This unofficial document contained nothing other than what was discussed in Anchorage

00:45and which did not cause rejection by the American interlocutors.

00:52The president's telephone conversation took place after this material was presented

00:57to the State Department and the National Security Council.

01:03And during that conversation, President Trump did not say a word about the provocative, subversive

01:09document you slipped us.

01:13It destroys everything, all hopes for a settlement.

01:17Absolutely not.

01:18They spoke normally.

01:21And when President Trump proposed a meeting in Budapest, President Putin responded positively

01:26and suggested tasking the foreign affairs agencies with preparing for the meeting.

01:33Which is exactly what we planned to do.

01:36Yes, President Trump said Marco Rubio would call me back.

01:40Or maybe he's already calling you.

01:42He called Lavrov three days later.

01:48We had a good, polite conversation, without any disruptions, confirmed, in principle, the

01:54movement based on the Anchorage understandings, and then parted ways.

01:58The next step was supposed to be a meeting of representatives of the foreign affairs agencies, the military, as I understand it, and,

02:10probably, the intelligence agencies.

02:17But no such further action came from the Americans, and it was from them that we were expecting the

02:21initiative to set a specific location and time for such a preparatory meeting, since they

02:26had proposed preparing for the summit.

02:32But instead, there was a public statement that there was no point in meeting.

02:37By the way, when Marco Rubio publicly commented on our phone conversation, he didn't say that

02:42he noticed any escalation or that this escalation was undermining his chances.

02:47Not at all.

02:48Look at the quote, if I remember correctly.

02:50He said that it was a constructive conversation.

02:54And it quite clearly showed where we stand.

02:58Therefore, there's no need to meet.

03:02We have no reason to justify the fact that we were and remain committed to what the presidents

03:09discussed.

03:14And by and large, well, if we didn't agree on every single point, but reached an understanding

03:20at Alaska, he said, well, I thought about it, I decided not to hold this meeting for now,

03:26because we won't agree on anything.

03:29But this is in the spirit and in line with his logic, which he recently outlined, that

03:34sometimes warring countries need to be allowed to fight.

03:37So, I sincerely don't see the connection here.

03:46We are also prepared to discuss our American colleagues' suspicions that we are secretly

03:50entrenched deep underground, doing something, and we are also prepared to discuss with our

03:55American colleagues the resumption of preparatory work for the summit they have proposed between

04:00the leaders of Russia and the United States.

04:11If and when our American colleagues renew their proposal and are ready to begin preparations

04:15for the summit, ensuring that it truly ends productively, Budapest will, of course, be our

04:21preferred venue.

04:25Especially since Donald Trump, at his meeting with Victor Urban, confirmed Budapest's preference

04:31for Washington as well.

04:35I believe it would be inappropriate to compare our relations with Belarus, which is part of

04:40a union state with which we have synchronized, coordinated, and unified positions on all key

04:45international security issues.

04:52On the one hand, there are also our relations with Venezuela, which is a friendly country and

04:57a strategically comprehensive partner, as we recently signed a corresponding agreement.

05:02But, of course, given the geographic factor, not least of all, it's unfair to compare this

05:11to the alliance we have with the Republic of Belarus.

05:21I'm certain that the Trump administration's current approach to Venezuela will lead to nothing

05:25good, and it won't enhance Washington's standing in the eyes of the international community

05:30when Zelensky regularly poses on television presenting awards to Azov fighters and other

05:36Nazi battalions with Nazi Germany's insignia on their sleeves.

05:45How else can we treat this man?

05:48That's why Nazism is unavoidable, I mean the eradication of Nazism in Ukraine.

05:57De-Nazification is an indispensable condition for a settlement, which, if we want it to

06:02be long-term, and we do, and we will work to achieve it.

06:09Younger Europeans, well, they, of course, well, Lithuania and Latvia, and Estonia to a certain

06:16extent, they, of course, greatly overestimate their importance to, ah, Western Europeans,

06:23to the old-timers of the European Union.

06:30And those in Europe who retain common sense and genuinely care about the continent's security,

06:35although there are fewer and fewer of them, they understand perfectly well the provocative

06:40role assigned to these Baltic countries, primarily by their British handlers.

06:47This is also well known, and, ah, the role of London in provoking various situations.

07:02For example, recently, when the FSB exposed a plot aimed at forcing a Russian pilot in a

07:08fighter jet equipped with a Kinzel missile to fly, supposedly at an invitation, to the Constanza

07:14military base in Romania with the explicit goal of organizing the downing of the plane

07:18there, accusing Russia of attacking the North Atlantic alliance, but we'll leave that aside.

07:29The FSB has exposed all of this in great detail.

07:36And I don't know how the British will wash their hands of this, although their ability

07:39to be like a goose that has escaped its clutches is well known.

07:47The Americans have repeatedly said of dictators in Latin America and Central America, yes, this

07:52dictator is a son of A, but he's our son of A.

07:57This is the same attitude the Baltic states, European masters have toward their antics.

08:06They are assigned the role of committing as many vile acts as possible in relations with

08:10the Russian Federation and, at the same time, provoking Russia into actions that they will

08:15then try to sell to Washington, primarily as grounds for initiating serious military action

08:20under Article 5 of the NATO Treaty.

08:26We see this.

08:27We see this.
