Russia has strongly condemned Israel’s recent attacks in Lebanon, warning that such actions could undermine ongoing diplomatic efforts between the United States and Iran. The statement was issued by the Russian Foreign Ministry on April 9, 2026, expressing deep concern over the escalation.

According to the ministry’s statement, the strikes push Lebanon toward a humanitarian disaster and worsen the country’s already fragile social and economic conditions. The condemnation highlights Moscow’s position against military actions that could destabilize the region further.

The warning also reflects Russia’s concern that renewed violence could derail delicate negotiations between Washington and Tehran, which are aimed at easing regional tensions.
