“The Russian President also sharpened the issue of the dangerous nature of the ongoing pumping of Ukraine with Western weapons, warning in this regard of the risks of further destabilization of the situation and aggravation of the humanitarian crisis,” the Kremlin’s press service reported.

Earlier, Russian Ambassador to Washington Anatoly Antonov expressed hope that the US authorities would not supply multiple launch rocket systems to Ukraine, as this could lead to an escalation of the conflict.

According to him, global security may face "unpredictable" consequences due to the supply of weapons.
