The ambassador said that the weapons supplied to Kyiv by Britain are used to shell the civilian population of Donbass, as well as a number of territories in Ukraine.
“The UK is trying to supply weapons to Ukraine, but the longer it continues to supply weapons to Ukraine, the more Ukraine will suffer,” he stressed in an interview with Sky News.
Earlier, the office of the current British Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced that London would provide Ukraine with military assistance for defense purposes in the amount of £1 billion.
Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said that weapons supplied by Washington to Kyiv prolong the conflict and lead to deaths.
