“Today, the obvious fact is the direct involvement of the United States in the hostilities of the Kyiv regime.
The supply of lethal weapons is openly increasing,” the Russian ambassador wrote in The National Interest magazine.
In addition, Antonov stressed, Ukraine is being provided with intelligence, as well as being trained in the use of NATO technology.
According to Antonov, at the moment "Russia is being tested for strength."
“In fact, Washington is pushing the situation towards a clash of major nuclear powers, fraught with unpredictable consequences,” the diplomat concluded.
Earlier, Antonov said that the United States was approaching a dangerous brink and becoming a party to the conflict in Ukraine, speaking about the admissibility of Western weapons attacks on the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics, as well as on the Zaporozhye and Kherson regions.
