In an interview with the Arabic-language channel Al-Arabiya, Lavrov also said that Russia knows the routes through which the West wants to deliver arms to Ukraine. The delivered weapons should now become the target of what the official Russian side calls a “special operation” as soon as they reach the territory of Ukraine.
