Envoy: US military aid to Kyiv triggers clash between Russia, West

Russia's ambassador to the United States Anatoly Antonov has said that Washington's decision to send more military aid to Ukraine poses a threat to Moscow's interests and increases the risk of a military clash between Russia and the West.

"We perceive this as an immediate threat to the strategic interests of our country," Reuters informs, citing Antonov’s Telegram channel.

Antonov said the supply of military products by the US and its allies (to Ukraine) not only entails protracted bloodshed and new casualties but also increases the danger of a direct military clash between Russia and Western countries.
