“It’s gotten to the point where some high-ranking functionaries are saying: “We need to help the Ukrainians “punch deep into Crimea.”

In other words, the actual participation of the United States in the conflict is recognized at the official level,” he is quoted as saying in the Telegram of the Russian diplomatic mission.

The Russian ambassador called such statements evidence of the dangerous course chosen by Washington.

According to him, this could lead to unpredictable consequences not only for the security of the United States, but also for the whole world.

Earlier, the media wrote that the head of the CIA, William Burns, called on Congress to allocate assistance to Ukraine for the offensive and “penetrating strikes” on Crimea.
