At the 77th session of the UN General Assembly, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said the West was trying to introduce "dividing lines" of bloc confrontation, leading a reckless course of expanding NATO to the East.

Meanwhile, pseudo-referendums on joining Russia continue in Luhansk, Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions. They started on the 23rd and will continue until the 27th of September.

According to a law signed on September 24 by President Putin, who will mark his 70th birthday next month, those who refuse to participate in military operations face prison.
"The entire territory of the Russian Federation, including that which may be additionally included in the Russian constitution in the future, is under the full protection of the state," Lavrov said.
