Moscow: The expansion of the conflict in the Middle East could have disastrous consequences for the region, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov warned during a briefing, according to APA, citing TASS. Peskov noted that while the geographic scope of the conflict is already widening, with fighting spreading to Lebanon, further escalation would significantly worsen the situation.

According to Azeri-Press News Agency, the conflict is already resulting in the destruction of civilian infrastructure and displacing tens of thousands of people. However, he declined to speculate on potential Russian actions in the event of further escalation, stressing that any hypothetical discussions would be inappropriate at this stage.
