The supply of weapons by the Armed Forces of Ukraine, regardless of the argument of such support measures, increases the risk of escalation of the conflict between Russia and the United States to a state of direct clash. This opinion was expressed by the deputy head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia Sergey Ryabko.
He also regarded the assistance of the American government to Ukraine as an attempt to inflict a strategic defeat. “Any supply of weapons that continues, go on increasing, increasing the risks of such development,” said RIA Novosti Ryabkov, commenting on the US decision to provide Ukraine with long-range Himars missile systems.
According to him, after the start of the “military operation” “, there was simply a breakdown of the remains of a responsible sound approach to the situation” by the United States. Ryabkov believes that “the American side for a long time did nothing to resolve the Ukrainian crisis.”
