“We are convinced that the goal of this campaign is to create an information cover for preparing their own large-scale provocations, including military ones, which can have the most tragic consequences for regional and global security,” she said during a briefing.

She added that, unfortunately, Russia's fears are confirmed by recent media reports.

“For several days now, Britain has been sending weapons to Ukraine with military transport aircraft of its Air Force.

At least six flights have been organized, each aircraft can take on board up to 77.5 tons of cargo, a total of about 460 tons of weapons.

As it became known, portable anti-tank systems will be delivered for use in urban areas.

By the way, Western instructors are teaching the conduct of such military operations to the Ukrainian military at the Yavoriv training ground in the Lviv region,” the diplomat said.

Earlier, the White House promised Russia a "tough response" in the event of an escalation in Ukraine.

Researcher at the Center for Security Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences Konstantin Blokhin, in an interview with RT, called the statements of White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki preparing an information background so that the upcoming US sanctions look legitimate.
