Russian Ambassador to the United States Anatoly Antonov said that the US massive weapons supplies to Ukraine is a direct way to the military confrontation between Moscow and Washington.

“The short-sightedness of the United States is also seen in the current circumstances … Driven by the desire to inflict a strategic defeat on Russia, the local elites are raising the stakes in escalating tensions by pumping up the Kiev regime with weapons. Is not it clear that this is the road to a direct military confrontation between the major nuclear powers, fraught with unpredictable consequences?” Antonov said in an article for the Newsweek magazine.
