"Will not dictate": Pentagon reacted to Russian threats on Patriot for Ukraine
According to him, US Presidential Administration Joe Biden sends Ukraine to Ukraine that he considers necessary for protection. And no comments from the Russian embassy in the United States will not affect it. According to Rider, he finds comments on the Russian Federation on the transfer of Patriot to Ukraine, "ironic and very indicative. " He noted that Russia has brutally attacked Ukraine and is intentionally destroying civil infrastructure, kills civilians.
Those systems that Washington wants to convey to Kiev aimed at protecting and saving the lives of Ukrainians. Ryder repeated that Russia can de-de-conflict at any time if he wants. "It is important to remember that Russia is an aggressor here. And when it comes to escalation . . . Today they could de -escalate the situation by taking their strength and keeping innumerable lives, but it is obvious that they decided to double the effort," he added he.
Recall that the Embassy of the Russian Federation responded to the US plans to put Patriot to Ukraine. They stated that such a decision seems to be another provocation. "The transmission of the US Patriot complexes to Kiev would be another provocative step that could lead to unpredictable consequences, said in the Russian Embassy," the Russian media reports.
