Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov accused US President Joe Biden of disrupting Donald Trump’s peace plans in Ukraine by allowing Kyiv to use ATACMS missiles against Russia. Lavrov compared Biden’s actions to Barack Obama’s 2016 expulsion of Russian diplomats, suggesting they were deliberate efforts to hinder Trump’s dialogue with Moscow. Moscow escalated with new missile strikes after Ukraine’s first ATACMS use, blaming Western nations for direct involvement in the conflict. Serbian officials warned Biden’s policies risk nuclear escalation, while NATO allies emphasized ongoing support for Ukraine. n18oc_crux
