“No other confirmation of the direct involvement of the United States in hostilities on the territory of Ukraine is required,” a representative of the Russian foreign ministry said at a briefing.

Zakharova drew attention to the fact that the supply of Western weapons is accompanied by more than just instructions on the use of such weapons.

According to her, in this case, "they perform the function of gunners in their purest form."

According to her, now the Kiev authorities are talking about the US military involvement 


"not only through the supply of weapons, but through personnel management" in the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, as well as in the form of "direct instructions and selection of targets."

As The Telegraph wrote, Vadim Skibitsky, a representative of the main intelligence department of the Ukrainian Defense Ministry, spoke about consultations with the United States before carrying out strikes with the help of the HIMARS MLRS.

Earlier, Yulia Zhdanova, a member of the Russian delegation at the talks in Vienna, said that CIA officers responsible for reconnaissance, supplying weapons and training soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine continue to work in Kyiv.
