He said in an interview with CNN that Russia was familiar with words of the American military that war with Russia is inevitable, in fact Russia has never aimed to provoke a war with the US.
Lavrov said Russia will not withdraw from conventions which are the foundations of global strategic stability, while in 2002 the US unilaterally withdrew from the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty signed with Russia in 1972.
