He sees a possible attack of European countries on Russia.

If Europe starts attacking Russia, it will receive a "full-fledged military response," Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said in an interview with the NTV channel.

He emphasized that Russia is conducting a "special military operation" in Ukraine and "is not going to attack any Europe". According to him, "we have absolutely no need for that."

"If Europe suddenly realizes its threats to prepare for war against us and starts attacking the Russian Federation, then, as [Vladimir Putin] said, it will not be a special military operation on our part. It will be a full-fledged military response with all the means at our disposal in accordance with doctrinal documents on this matter," Lavrov warned.
