**Moscow, Russia (Sputnik)** – Russia has strongly condemned the recent Israeli military attacks on Lebanon, calling them “large-scale” and emphasizing the “categorical inadmissibility of indiscriminate attacks” that target civilians.
In a statement released on Tuesday, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova expressed deep concern over the escalation and called for an immediate cessation of hostilities to prevent further bloodshed. “Everything possible must be done to prevent the Middle East from plunging into a full-scale armed conflict,” the statement read, warning of the devastating consequences for the region and beyond.
Russia has offered to coordinate efforts with Middle Eastern countries and international partners to de-escalate the situation and facilitate a political and diplomatic resolution.
