News – World: Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov affirmed on Tuesday his country's condemnation of the US-British airstrikes on Yemen.

"Russia does not agree with the actions of the US and British forces in carrying out strikes on Yemen and calls for a return to diplomacy through dialogue between the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and the Omani authorities, rather than resorting to armed conflict," Lavrov said.

Lavrov emphasized that the United States and Britain's strikes on Yemen contribute to increasing escalation in the region.

He also noted Russia's readiness to support national reconciliation efforts in Yemen.

In the same regard, Russia's Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova condemned the US and British airstrikes on Yemen.

"The US air raids on Yemen are another example of the Anglo-Saxons' distortion of UN Security Council resolutions," Zakharova posted on her Telegram page.

She called for efforts to prevent further escalation in the region.

The US-UK aggressive airstrikes on Yemen continue in clear violation of Yemeni sovereignty, as an attempt to deter Yemen from its decision to prevent Israeli ships from passing through the Red Sea in support of the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip, who are facing a genocidal war by the savage Zionist entity.

Yemenis have openly declared their support for Palestine's struggle against Zionist occupation since the regime launched a devastating war on Gaza on October 7, following the surprise Operation Al-Aqsa Storm by Palestinian resistance movements.

The Yemeni Armed Forces have declared that they will not cease retaliatory strikes. The maritime attacks have compelled major shipping and oil companies to suspend their voyages to the ports of the Zionist enemy.
