"We urge the United States and its allies not to cross the red lines they come close to. Stop pumping the regime with deadly weapons. This will only lead to new casualties and destruction, further prolongation of the conflict", Antonov noted.
The ambassador stressed that the White House's statements about its intention to continue supporting Kyiv with weapons are perceived «as one more confirmation of the fact that Washington has been consolidated in the status of a participant in the conflict «.» Such assistance, as well as assistance to Kyiv with intelligence, instructors and orientation on the conduct of hostilities, is the way to further escalate and increase the risk of a clash between Russia and NATO. Especially since Ukraine uses weapons against civilian infrastructure, residential buildings, «- Antonov concluded. Against the backdrop of Russia's military special operation, the United States and its NATO allies continue to supply weapons to Ukraine. Moscow has repeatedly stated that the supply of Western weapons only prolongs the conflict, and the transport of weapons becomes a legitimate target for the Russian army. to peace talks on Ukraine
