MOSCOW — The planned delivery of new
US weapons to Ukraine,
including advanced missile systems, increases the risk of drawing the United
States into direct conflict with Russia, Moscow said Wednesday.

“Any arms supplies that continue, are on the rise,
increase the risks of such a development,” Russian Deputy Foreign Minister
Sergei Ryabkov told the RIA Novosti news agency, in answer to a question about
the possibility of a confrontation between Moscow and Washington.
On Tuesday, Washington said it will be supplying
Ukraine with advanced missile systems, including the Himars multiple-launch
rocket system that can simultaneously launch multiple precision-guided
missiles.
Both Ukraine and Russia already operate
multiple-launch rockets systems, but the Himars has superior range and
precision.
The Himars system that Washington is providing to
Ukraine will have a range of about 80km.
According to
Ryabkov, the US is determined to “wage
war (on Moscow) to the last Ukrainian in order to inflict, as they say, a
strategic defeat on Russia”.
“This is unprecedented, this is dangerous,” Ryabkov said.
