While in the West there is talk of expansion Bornwith the possible involvement of Sweden and Finland, Russia, which is involved in the conflict against Ukraine, sends a very clear message: the NATO vehicles found with many weapons on Ukrainian territory are considered targets and are treated as such bear the consequences.
The warning was initiated by Russia’s Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov who said into the microphones of the official Russian news agency Tass: “We consider American and NATO vehicles transporting weapons on Ukrainian territory to be legitimate targets”. And again: “We warn that the USNATO vehicles transporting ammunition and weapons across the territory of Ukraine are considered by us to be legitimate military targets.”
During his interview with TASS, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Ryabkov added that any attempt by the United States and other Western countries to slow down the special operation in Ukraine would be halted. “We are also making it clear to the Americans and other Westerners that attempts to inflict as much damage as possible on Russian units and units of the DPR and LPR will be severely curtailed,” Sergei Ryabkov continued. At the same time, the deputy minister added, warn Russia of the fate that everyone will suffer Vehicles from the USA who invades Ukraine with weapons.
It is also repeated that on February 24 Russia decided to intervene in response to a request for help from the leaders of the republics of the Russian Federation Donbass, plagued by 8 years of war, little talked about today. No intention to invade Ukraine. As President Vladimir Putin has stated on numerous occasions, the operation aims to demilitarize and denazify the country.
Ryabkov further stated that given the state of affairs, there will be no largescale contacts with Washington. Washington’s “unbridled support for Kiev’s war projects and largescale shipments of modern weapons” makes contacts with Moscow effectively “pointless.” However, Russia urged the United States to “stop sponsoring” the bloodshed.
