The Russian Foreign Ministry called the growing US involvement in military support for Ukraine a dangerous trend

The level of US involvement in military support for Ukraine continues to grow, which is alarming, Deputy Foreign Minister of the Russian Federation Sergei Ryabkov said on the air of the Rossiya 24 TV channel.

“This trend is dangerous, we have repeatedly warned the US about the consequences that may come when the US carries out this pumping and, by engaging in other forms of direct support for Kyiv, in fact, puts itself in a position close to what can be called a party to the conflict” , – said Ryabkov (quote according to RIA Novosti).

The Deputy Foreign Minister of the Russian Federation added that if the United States turns to the side of the conflict, then Russia’s policy will not remain the same.

“The thinnest line that separates the United States from turning into a conflict, it should not serve as some kind of illusion for the rabid anti-Russian forces that, having crossed it, everything will remain as it is,” Ryabkov said.

The diplomat also warned the United States against further deliveries of increasingly long-range and destructive systems. According to Ryabkov, “this is a road to nowhere.”

After the start of the special operation, Western countries began to provide economic, political and military support to Ukraine. Large-scale sanctions were imposed against Russia, and weapons began to be supplied to Ukraine from the United States and European countries. Earlier, Russia sent a note of protest to all countries, including the United States, over the supply of weapons to Ukraine. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that by pumping weapons to Ukraine, Western countries do not allow it to take constructive steps and do not allow it to negotiate with Russia.
