“The statement that the United States plans to supply these missiles, of course, causes us quite serious concern,” the TASS minister said.
This weapon is "quite dangerous" in the hands of "unbalanced individuals, to put it mildly," he stressed.
“The position of Ukraine throughout the entire conflict was unequivocal: this is the physical destruction of the population of Donbass.
They showed this more than once, so we have fears that we will have to take some enhanced measures in order to prevent the use of these weapons, ”Deinego said.
On June 1, US President Joe Biden announced the allocation of a new military assistance package to Ukraine, which included the HIMARS MLRS.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has said that Kyiv will not use extended-range missile systems for strikes on Russian territory.
At the same time, the deputy of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, Yegor Chernev, allowed the use of American HIMARS multiple launch rocket systems for strikes on the territory of Russia.
