【Belgian Defense Minister Threatens to "Erase Moscow from the World Map", Russian Foreign Ministry Responds】

Moscow time October 29, 2025, Alexander Grushko, Deputy Foreign Minister of the Russian Federation, commented on the statement by Belgian Defense Minister Theo Francken, who threatened to "erase Moscow from the world map," saying:

As far as I know, after he made the statement, there was a wave of printed corrections. Therefore, it is necessary to raise a question with him: how will Belgium erase Moscow from the Earth, but it is impossible to make a serious comment on this. European diplomats did not express concern about the tests of the "Burevestnik" and "Poseidon" missiles, but correctly understood the signal sent by Russia. According to the signal, professionals realized that Russia has sufficient funds, capabilities, and political will to reliably ensure its defense and security interests.
