Separately, FM Lavrov said conflict with NATO can no longer be seen as merely a “hybrid war” but is instead fast approaching a real one.

“The world has come close to the threat of World War III due to impending US aggression against the Russian Federation,” Medvedev said in comments first reported by Sky News Arabia. He also emphasized he sees the conflict at a point of no return. “There are no conditions for negotiations between Russia and Ukraine now, either de facto or de jure,” Medvedev said.
