“We condemn in the strongest terms such actions by the United States, which only postpone the prospect of an early peaceful settlement of the conflict in Ukraine,” Zakharova said in a statement on the website of the Russian Foreign Ministry.
According to her, the responsibility for the consequences of these actions lies with Washington "and its puppets in Kyiv."
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.
