In the United States, the threats of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation were reacted through the transfer of ATACMS Ukraine
The statement made against the background of threats of the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova due to the possible supply of Ukraine missile systems. "I will not respond to Russia's statements, but I can emphasize that everything we have provided to Ukrainian partners aims to provide them with the ability to protect our territory," the American official said.
Before that, the US media reported that the Ukrainian side has invited the US missile system from the United States, which Washington refuses to provide. The refusal of Presidential Administration Joe Baiden is related to the fear that Ukraine can use it to tasks in Russian territory and provoke a larger conflict with the West. The Kremlin's reaction did not slow down.
On September 15, Maria Zakharova, a representative of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia, said that if such deliveries would mean the transition of Washington of the "red line". According to her, in this way the United States will become a "direct side of conflict" and therefore Russia will protect its territory in such a situation by all available means. However, Zakharova did not specify what remedies it involved Moscow and what it aims to do.
Earlier, CNN, citing a source in the White House, reported that Presidential Administration Joe Baiden is not yet ready to provide Ukraine with a long -range ATACMS. Americans believe that the recent successes of the Armed Forces in the Kharkiv direction are talking about the effectiveness of the weapons already provided to Kiev. Baiden administration made an official statement on a new military assistance package for Ukraine worth $ 600 million.
