US arms delivery to UkraineWASHINGTON, Jan 26 against militants and terrorists, the Russian embassy in Washington said.
"The press services of the State Department and the Pentagon almost daily brag about their efforts to build up military assistance to the Kiev regime. The US authorities are doing this, knowing full well that American lethal weapons will end up in the hands of militants and terrorists in Ukraine", the diplomatic mission says.
The embassy noted that along with the political and material support of Washington, «neo-Nazis, in fact, they get «carte blanche» for provocations and military actions in the Donbass. «Only in recent days, the United States has sent three shipments of weapons to Ukraine by air. The day before, 80 tons of military cargo, including 300 Javelin anti-tank missiles, were delivered there. The Permanent Mission to the UN stated that Ukraine was «flooded» with US and NATO weapons, as well as «countless» advisers from Western countries. In recent months, Western media have increasingly reported on Moscow's preparations for an «invasion» of Ukraine. Russia has repeatedly rejected the accusations of the West and Ukraine of «aggressive actions», saying that it does not threaten anyone and does not intend to attack anyone. The Kremlin believes the claims are being used as a pretext to place as much NATO military hardware as possible near Russian borders. Alliance members have already confirmed intentions to increase their presence in eastern Europe, although Moscow insists on abandoning this in the draft document on security guarantees. 08:43InfographicDraft Security Assurance Agreement between Russia and NATOInfographicView
