Russia claims that Moscow is encouraging Ukraine to commit more crimes. It is also prolonging the war by continuing to send military weapons to Kiev. Pumping Kiev with weapons is a “futile project” that will increase the number of civilian casualties, Ambassador Anatoly Antonov also said.

On Wednesday, the administration of United States President Joe Biden announced another military assistance package for Kiev totaling around $2.5 billion. It includes air defense munitions, HIMARS missiles, artillery rounds, anti-tank weapons, and other equipment. Since the start of the conflict in February 2022, the Biden administration has committed more than $53 billion in military aid to Ukraine.

U.S. Vows To Send Another $2.3 Billion In Weapons To Ukraine

According to a report by RT, in a statement on Telegram, Antonov denounced the latest American aid package, charging that Washington “continues its course towards war” and “harbors illusory dreams of a strategic victory over Russia.” Antonova added: “Pumping up the agonizing Zelensky regime with deadly weapons is a futile project. In essence, this is encouraging Kiev terrorists to commit new crimes.”

American weapons will not deter Russia from pushing on toward its end goal of “liberating Ukraine,” the envoy said. “They will only lead to new casualties among civilians, including women and children.”

The ambassador said that the US leadership is blind to the true state of affairs, as it has become “entangled in its own networks of intrigue and sanctions” which have failed to deter Russia and other independent states while becoming a burden for the West. –RT

The U.S. also continues to reject any peace negotiations or “overtures” to stop the conflict.  Washington is currently “balancing on the brink of conflict with Russia, the largest nuclear power.”

Antonov added that the U.S. ruling class intends to “demonstrate that they are steadfast in defending the crumbling world order based on American rules on the eve of the NATO summit in Washington.” Those politicians, however, are ignoring “the cost of such a Pyrrhic victory,” he stated.
