According to journalists, long-range missiles with a range of 150 km will be handed over to Kyiv for the first time as part of the next $2.2 billion US military aid package.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that the supply of long-range missiles to Ukraine would lead to an escalation of the conflict, and for this reason, Russian representatives refuse to negotiate. About it informs “RBC”.
“Yes this [поставка ракет] — a direct path to whipping up tension, to raising the level of escalation. We see it, it requires additional efforts from us. But this will not change the course of events,” Peskov said, adding that hostilities would continue.
According to journalists, the next $2.2 billion package of US military aid to Kyiv will for the first time include long-range missiles with a range of 150 km.
Prizes for soldiers of the Russian Federation for tanks
Peskov also hailed the Russian leadership’s initiative to pay 5 million rubles ($71,000) each to the first soldiers to destroy or capture American Abrams tanks or German Leopard 2s that the Allies recently promised to supply to the Armed Forces.
According to Peskov, “they will burn,” and with such monetary incentives, there will be even more enthusiasts. The Kremlin spokesman also added that Russian President Vladimir Putin is not planning talks with the head of the White House, Joe Biden.
