Lavrov warns EU arms buildup could spark conflict, Russia ready to act

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov told the United Nations that the European Union’s buildup of arms could become a self-fulfilling prophecy and that Moscow would not hesitate to respond swiftly if Europe attacks. His warning followed a series of statements from European leaders about a rising Russian hybrid threat. French President Emmanuel Macron announced a plan to protect critical infrastructure after saying Russian hybrid attacks on Europe had intensified.

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk warned parliament that intelligence suggested Russia might carry out drone or missile strikes against NATO members supporting Ukraine. Dutch defence intelligence and other NATO allies warned of a growing risk of limited Russian attacks, while Poland, Romania and Moldova reported several Russian drone incursions that NATO intercepted.

The claim that Denmark's defence intelligence service stated on September 24, 2026, that the risk of a small-scale Russian incursion or long-range strike on NATO infrastructure is increasing was partially confirmed. The claim that Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov told the UN on September 27, 2026, that European preparations for war may become a self-fulfilling prophecy and warned Moscow would not hesitate to act if Europe attacked had insufficient evidence. The claim that Czech and Latvian intelligence heads said on September 21, 2026, that Russia could be planning a limited strike against a NATO country in the near term also had insufficient evidence.
