Russia 'closely Monitoring' Trump's Threat To Attack Nigeria by ALTERNATEID(op): 8:18pm On Nov 07, 2025

Russia is closely monitoring developments related to reports of potential US military action in Nigeria, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on Friday.

Responding to an Anadolu news agency question at a press briefing in Moscow about the situation in the African country, Zakharova urged Washington to adhere to international law.

“We are closely monitoring this issue and call on all parties involved to strictly comply with international legal norms,” she said.

On November 1, US President Donald Trump declared that he had ordered the Pentagon to develop options for possible military measures against terrorist groups in Nigeria to protect Christian communities there.

‘Constitutional commitment’

The Nigerian government has said it does not tolerate religious persecution.

Foreign Minister Yusuf Tuggar said this week that the government has a "constitutional commitment to religious freedom and rule of law".

Africa's most populous country, which is roughly evenly split between a mostly Christian south and Muslim-majority north, is home to myriad conflicts, which experts say kill both Christians and Muslims, often without distinction.

Some analysts suggest that Washington's amped-up rhetoric could be related to Abuja rejecting demands to accept non-Nigerian deportees expelled from the United States as part of Trump's immigration crackdown.

This is a welcome development. While Nigeria should keep engaging the US government to iron things out, we should also be discussing alliance and military cooperation with foreign powers like Russia and China.

China has invested billions of dollars in Nigeria. They won’t sit idle and watch Trump bomb their investment into rubbles. Russia is an ally of China. Once is affects China, Russia is also affected.

So, while we don’t want any interference in the sovereignty of Nigeria, we must ensure we are prepared for all possible eventualities. We are dealing with a lunatic and that’s why we need all possible friends to stand without

well, they have said what they have to say, diplomatically.

We all know that Russia wouldn't leave Ukrainian war to come and start funding terrorists the way some Nigerians would wish for.

Russia couldn't even fight for Bashir Al-Assad of Syria as at last time.
Russia is tired of fighting for rouge regimes

Even Putin hates terrorists more than Trump nowadays .

For the records, Trump didn't threaten to attack Nigeria, he said Terroristss!!!

Trump had brought the US 50years backward in less than one year.

This is what happens when you have a clown in the arms of affairs in a country like the US. Nobody respects the US anymore under Trump. I can’t imagine how irrelevant the US will be under 4year of Trump’s leadership.

Empty barrels, China and Russia won't nada.
Nobody can stop USA unless they are not interested. They've always opposed USA foreign policy.
America is the only country that has the right to enter any country to stop genocide, war crimes, ethnic cleansing, and crimes against humanity.
Read Response to Protect R2P . It's a UN law, Nigeria is at the last stage (a failed state). We've normalized abnormal things 😥.

China prosecute christians 📌💯
Russia prosecute Jehovah witness 📌💯

To prevent Nigeria from foreign invasion. Trump is not coming to kill any terrorist but to hijack the government of the country and impose a puppet who will dance to every of his demands.

And so, what if they're observing? Russia won't do jack.....

As a matter of fact, if you're stopping USA from intervening, why are you running to Russia? To support your genocidal intentions?

Unfortunately for FG, if you involve Russia, the terrorists are still in trouble.....

Either way, FG is just clowning around....
