Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs Spokesperson Maria ZakharovaMOSCOW, Feb 12Ukraine is stuffed with NATO weapons, the presence of Western advisers has increased many times over, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said. «Soloviev Live». «Over the past two months, they (Western instructors) there have increased manifold,» she added, speaking of Ukraine. Since 2014, NATO countries, led by the United States, have been supplying weapons to Ukraine and training its military, which directly violates the agreements and negatively affects the settlement in Donbass. In addition to the Americans, Great Britain, Canada, France, Poland, Turkey, Lithuania, Czech Republic, Bulgaria, Romania, Estonia participate in deliveries totaling billions of dollars. jpg» />Zakharova called the US actions a mockery of the Ukrainian people. The United States supplies Ukraine with small batches of Javelin anti-tank missile systems, patrol boats, sniper rifles and counter-battery radar stations, the UK — NLAW anti-tank grenade launchers, Turkey — Bayraktar TB2 strike drones. Ukraine and the UK signed a memorandum that provides for the joint design and construction of warships on the territory of the two countries and the construction of two bases for the Ukrainian Navy. The Russian Foreign Ministry believes that the supply of US and NATO weapons to Ukraine creates an additional temptation for Kiev to switch to a forceful method of resolving the conflict in Donbass , which is absolutely unacceptable. The West accuses the Russian Federation of alleged plans to escalate the situation around Ukraine. Moscow categorically denies this and constantly says that no one is threatened, and all such statements are used as an excuse to place more NATO military equipment near Russian borders. As Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said earlier, Russia does not create any pretexts for a conflict situation around Ukraine. According to him, Russia does not rule out that the hysteria around Ukraine, hyped by the West, is aimed at covering Kiev's line of sabotaging the Minsk agreements on Donbass. According to the press secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov, the US and NATO information hysteria over Ukraine is generously framed by lies and fakes.
