He highlighted the case of Julian Assange as a message to dissenters, suggesting that the West suppresses alternative voices. Additionally, Lavrov mentioned that Western countries have tried to distort the perception of the use of the Oreshnik intermediate-range ballistic missile by portraying it as aggression by Russia.
