***** FLASH ***** Russian Foreign Minister Says 3rd Country “Could Become Involved” in Ukraine Conflict WORLD HAL TURNER 01 JUNE 2022 HITS: 3900 ***** FLASH ***** Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov publicly stated late this evening (Moscow time) that “A third country could become involved in the Ukraine conflict, now that the U.S. is sending long-range missiles to Ukraine.” Lavrov did NOT expand on his meaning. The possibilities being SPECULATED over this remark are: 1) Another country, like Belarus, might join the fight against Ukraine to assist Russia against the onslaught of NATO weaponry being sent into Ukraine, OR; 2) The country SUPPLYING the new long-range missiles to Ukraine, could become involved by being ATTACKED for sending the weapons. If this is the possibility, then the U.S. might be the one “becoming involved” or a European nation trans-shipping US missiles to Ukraine could be the third country Lavrov speaks about. Lavrov’s remarks are not clear about what he means, and this type of ambiguity is very unusual for Lavrov and for Russia. Perhaps that’s the point; within the ambiguity are severe escalation possibilities. Perhaps Russia is allowing that ambiguity to sink-in before letting on what they actually mean. Either way, Lavrov’s remarks clearly mean one solid thing: escalation. Again.
