Moscow will use all means at its disposal to defend its national interests, and hopes Washington has understood this after the test launch of the Oreshnik hypersonic missile, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has told US journalist Tucker Carlson.

Carlson, who interviewed President Vladimir Putin earlier this year, returned to Russia to speak with Lavrov after unsuccessful attempts to sit down with Ukraine’s Vladimir Zelensky.
