“If Washington and NATO countries supply weapons that will be used to strike civilian cities and attempt to seize our territories, as they threaten, this will lead to retaliatory measures using more powerful weapons,” he wrote on Telegram.

He added that members of Congress, deputies of the Bundestag, the National Assembly of France and other European parliaments must realize their "responsibility to humanity."

Earlier, Russian Ambassador to the United States Anatoly Antonov warned that the Russian army would destroy any weapons supplied by Western countries to Ukraine.

In addition, Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev commented on the words of NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg that the supply of weapons to Ukraine is "the path to peace."
