UNITED NATIONS, September 24. /ITAR-TASS/. Russia has earned a second ranking on the list of threats mentioned by U.S. President Barack Obama, Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Wednesday in a comment on Obama’s speech at the UN General Assembly session.

“As for the U.S. President’s speech, we earned the second place among the threats to international peace and stability,” Lavrov said. “Number one is the Ebola virus, number two is the so-called Russian aggression in Europe and Isil and other terrorists are ranked as number three.”
