Russia sees US decision to provide Ukraine with new military aid package as step towards escalating conflict, also urges Washington to consider dangers of expanding its geography . This was reported by the Russian Embassy in America.
“Washington has once again confirmed its hypocritical position. The Americans intend to prolong the conflict in Ukraine as long as possible. The decision to supply arms to Kiev is a step towards an escalation of the Ukrainian crisis and an increase in the number of civilian casualties,” the embassy’s Telegram channel said.
In addition, the diplomatic mission is convinced that the United States is not interested in the fate of Ukraine, and the main objective of providing military assistance to Kiev is the desire to turn the country into a source of threats for Russia’s security.
The Pentagon said the United States would transfer a large shipment of ammunition, weapons and military equipment to Ukraine under a new $2.6 billion aid package.
Earlier it became known that the Ukrainian authorities were asking members of the US Congress to influence the administration of the current head of state Joe Biden in order to convince him of the need to include cluster bombs in the new US military tranche in Kiev.
