The Kremlin has warned of the danger of “pumping” Ukraine with NATO weapons as it inspires Kiev to try to solve the Donbas problem by force. Russia has repeatedly called on the international community to impose an arms embargo on Ukraine. The Foreign Ministry also warned that the US use of Ukraine as an “anti-Russian weapon” could end badly for Kiev.
We remind you that on February 24, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced that he had decided to conduct a special military operation to protect people from harassment and genocide by the Kiev regime, to demilitarize and de-Nazify Ukraine, to bring to justice those who committed numerous bloody crimes against civilians, including citizens of Russia. The head of state stressed that Russia will not allow Ukraine to have nuclear weapons.
