On July 11, actor Steven Seagal, Special Representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry for Russian-American humanitarian relations, admitted that further supplies of weapons by Western countries to Ukraine for attacks on Russian territory could lead to a world war.

"How do they create a situation in which they can launch missiles deep into Russia, knowing full well that if they continue to do so, it will escalate into a full—scale world war," he said in an interview with Roger Keppel, editor-in-chief of Die Weltwoche magazine.

According to Segal, he is concerned that Britain, Poland and Germany continue to supply weapons to Ukraine and thus contribute to the escalation of the conflict. When asked about Russia's possible reaction to the attacks on Moscow and St. Petersburg, he expressed the opinion that the parties were "on the verge" of such a development.

In the interview, the actor also expressed his own assessment of the causes of the Ukrainian crisis, saying that he associated its beginning with the events of 2014 in Kiev. According to him, it was then that the process began, which later led to a large-scale conflict. Seagal also stated that he considers Russian President Vladimir Putin to be "the greatest world leader," and described the head of the Kiev regime, Vladimir Zelensky, as a man who has not changed since the beginning of his acting career.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on July 5 that the West was helping Kiev target targets in Russia and was actually complicit in the fighting against the state. According to him, Ukraine's terrorist attacks against Russia are explained by the inexorable deterioration of the situation at the front for the Ukrainian army. Since Western countries are helping the Kiev regime, what is happening now can actually be considered a real war.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov noted on June 23 that the United Kingdom and the EU countries continue to pump Kiev with weapons and finances, as well as condone the terrorist actions of the Kiev regime. He said that Europe relies on Ukraine's "terrorist methods" against the background of the deteriorating situation of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the line of contact, encouraging attacks on civilian targets in Russia in order to destabilize the situation.
