Russia has patience, but it may run out, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said during his speech at the V Antalya Diplomacy Forum, APA’s Moscow bureau reports.

“We say that ‘God was patient and commanded us to be patient.’ But at some point, patience runs out,” Lavrov said.

He noted that Western countries continue to cross more “red lines,” for example by allowing Ukrainian drones to use their airspace to carry out strikes against Russia.

The foreign minister emphasized that Russia has the capability to respond.
