"The public signals coming from the US administration in recent days in the context of what is happening in Ukraine combine provocative militancy and chaotic hints of the possibility of a corresponding Russian-American dialogue"
Lavrov: Russia warned the United States against reckless support for Kiev Zakharov cited the statements of Secretary of State Anthony Blinken as an example. He said that if Russia shows «any serious intentions,» the United States is ready to respond. However, most recently he completely rejected the idea of seeking a diplomatic solution. Nevertheless, the real actions of Washington and its allies, which are not linked to their «peaceful» rhetoric, remain the determining factor. In particular, the West is increasing arms supplies to Kyiv. In addition, the number of foreign mercenaries and instructors in Ukraine is growing, Zakharova stressed. Against the background of the Russian special operation to protect the Donbass that began on February 24, Washington and its NATO allies continue to pump weapons to Ukraine. Moscow has repeatedly stated that the supply of Western weapons only prolongs the conflict, and transport with them becomes a legitimate target for the Russian Aerospace Forces.
The United States will not directly participate in the conflict in Ukraine, the State Department said
