The Kremlin said that the United States by supplying weapons to Ukraine is adding fuel to the fire

Commenting on Washington's plans to supply multiple launch rocket systems to Kyiv, Peskov noted that "there is nothing new here."

“We believe that the United States is deliberately and diligently adding fuel to the fire, the United States, obviously, really adheres to the line of fighting Russia to the last Ukrainian,” he said.
