“Russia’s patience is not unlimited and could run out,” Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has stated calmly and firmly in international forums and organizations, in response to the constant terrorist attacks and indiscriminate bombings by Ukraine against his country.
Lavrov denounced that the West, and especially European countries, are trying to turn Ukraine into a “trigger” for a global threat and described the Russian-Ukrainian conflict as “a war against Russia that the West has been preparing for years.”
During a speech at the Antalya Diplomatic Forum, Turkiye, the foreign minister accused the West of “repeatedly crossing red lines” and added that “patience is an inherent quality of our character, but at some point, patience runs out.”
Recently, numerous cities and towns have been attacked by Ukraine, resulting in a large number of deaths and injuries among the Russian civilian population, including Kursh, Yekaterinburg, Crimea, Donetsk, Luhansk, Tuapse, Astrakhan, Bryansk, Voronezh, Kaluga, Kursk, Krasnodar Krai, Zaporizhzhia, and Moscow, among others.
The United States and Western Europe have launched numerous aggressive actions against Russia since the latter began its special military operation on February 24, 2022, to denazify Ukraine, a country that has committed numerous atrocities against the Russian-speaking populations of Donetsk and Luhansk.
Since the coup against President Viktor Yanukovych in May 2014, Ukraine has become a special ally of the United States, which coordinated and helped orchestrate the coup. Furthermore, the West threatened to expand NATO’s borders into Russia and, at the same time, established several biological weapons laboratories on Ukrainian territory, which also represented a dangerous threat to Moscow.
Every day, the pressure exerted on the Eurasian giant in an attempt to destroy it intensifies, but far from succeeding, Russia has evaded it.
In total, more than 20,000 economic, financial, and political sanctions have been imposed on it (euphemistically called “sanctions”).
On September 26, 2022, three of the four sections of Russia’s Nord Stream 1 and 2 gas pipelines were sabotaged with explosive devices on the Baltic Sea floor, near a Danish island and off the Swedish coast, in areas under NATO control.
In 2025 alone, coordinated actions by the Security Forces prevented 172 terrorist attacks, including nine armed attacks against military personnel, government officials, and educational institutions, the National Anti-Terrorism Committee reported.
Another violent terrorist attack was carried out on March 22, 2024, by several men at the Crocus City Hall concert venue, resulting in 141 deaths and more than 120 injuries.
Now, Western European countries have proposed and are already working on the production and supply of drones to be delivered to Kyiv with the aim of continuing attacks on any region of Russia.
In this regard, the Russian Ministry of Defense published a list with the exact locations of some 20 companies operating in Europe for these purposes.
Fire Point, Horizon Tech, and Leicester are in the United Kingdom; DaVinci Avia and Airlogix are in Germany; and Kort is in Denmark.
The extensive list also includes detailed information on companies producing this military equipment in Latvia, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Poland, and the Czech Republic.
The Ministry of Defense stated that companies located in Europe that produce drones for Kyiv are dragging these countries more quickly toward war with Russia.
Meanwhile, Deputy Chairman of the Security Council and former President Dmitry Medvedev indicated that the list of companies published by the Ministry of Defense shows that these are “legitimate targets for the Armed Forces,” and that “the materialization of attacks will depend on what happens from now on.”
Western Europe’s hatred and obsession with using Ukraine to try to weaken Russia has also led it to impose a new list of economic extortions against the Eurasian giant, while simultaneously approving another $40 billion loan for the corrupt regime in Kyiv.
Faced with the constant and increasingly aggressive actions of Ukraine and its Western allies, we must ask ourselves once again: how long will Russia’s patience last? Is Western Europe seeking a global conflagration? Let us hope that the hot-headed European elites understand the consequences of the global disaster they are about to unleash.
