Exclusive: Russia's Lavrov Warns of 'Dangerous Consequences' for US in Ukraine

Sergey Lavrov : U.S. will face "dangerous consequences" if it presses on with growing military aid to Ukraine .

Russia 's plan would see Ukraine ceding the substantially Russian held provinces of Donetsk, Kherson, Luhansk and Zaporizhzhia .

Lavrov accuses NATO of first sowing the seeds of war a decade ago and continuing to fan the flames.

Russia has no choice but to continue its special military operation until threats posed by Ukraine are removed.

The costs of the conflict are greatest for Ukrainians , who are ruthlessly pushed by their own authorities to the war to be slaughtered there.

Russia has been trying to extinguish this crisis for more than a decade , yet each time we put to paper agreements that suit everyone, Kiev and its masters would backpedal.

Putin : "We will promote Russia 's interests decisively, especially as far as its national security is concerned" The outcome of the U.S. presidential election makes no difference to us, as the two parties have reached a consensus as to countering our country.

Putin : As long as the West continues seeking dominance, the ideals of peace set forth in the Charter of the UN will remain a dead letter.
