Senator Tsekov: Russia will find an adequate response to the possible supply of MLRS from the US to Ukraine

“If these missiles can reach Russian cities, this can lead to an adequate response (from) Russia,” he told RIA Novosti.

Tsekov noted that the supply of weapons from the United States to Ukraine is leading to an escalation and continuation of the Ukrainian crisis.

“This decision is ill-conceived, if they think they can sit out overseas, the Russian leadership will find a worthy answer,” Tsekov said.

He also stressed that Washington is taking such steps not only against Russia, "but also against Europe."

The New York Times, citing sources, wrote that the administration of US President Joe Biden approved the decision to send multiple launch rocket systems (MLRS) to Ukraine.

According to Pentagon spokesman John Kirby, an official decision on the supply of multiple launch rocket systems to Kyiv has not yet been made.

Russian Ambassador to Washington Anatoly Antonov expressed hope that the US authorities would not supply multiple launch rocket systems to Ukraine.

According to him, in this case, global security may face "unpredictable" consequences.
