Russia warned United States against sending more arms to Ukraine

iu

Russia has warned the United States against sending more arms to Ukraine, Moscow's ambassador to Washington told Russian state television. "We stressed the unacceptability of this situation when the United States of America pours weapons into Ukraine, and we demanded an end to this practice," Anatoly Antonov said in an interview with the Rossiya 24 TV channel. Antonov said an official diplomatic note had been sent to Washington expressing Russia's concerns. He said such arms supplies from the United States would further aggravate the situation and raised the stakes of the conflict. Washington's top diplomat and its defence secretary met Ukrainian President Volodomyr Zelenskiy in Kyiv late on Sunday, pledging new assistance worth $713 million for Zelenskiy's government and other countries in the region fearing Russian aggression. Russia's Feb. 24 invasion of Ukraine has killed thousands of people, displaced millions and raised fears of a wider confrontation between Russia and the United States - by far the world's two biggest nuclear powers. President Vladimir Putin says the "special military operation" in Ukraine is necessary because the United States was using Ukraine to threaten Russia and Moscow had to defend against the persecution of Russian-speaking people. Ukraine and the West say Russia began an unprovoked war of aggression.


It appears that Moscow is having difficulties ramping up its armaments production.

Notice the Russians aren’t mentioning all the other countries sending weapons. This is right out of the old Soviet propaganda manual to set up the U.S. as the bogeyman for all of their problems. When the body bags come home, we did it, not Putin.

Russia, Putin, and all Putin's ilk can go pound sand. We are taking part in a proxy war, as has been well established since the Cold War as "ok". If they want to escalate by attacking us or our allies in NATO, I say let them come.

Lol what?

We got VERY upset when Iran and other countries did the same thing to us in Iraq and Afghanistan. We literally killed a top Iranian commander over it.

Jesus, the hypocrisy here is downright blinding.

Ok Russia.

You're still not going to nuke us over it, because then you'll be more concerned about pointlessly keeping a handful of people alive a bit longer in a ruined world...

Why is he being a hypocrite? We attack Iraq, Iran attacks us via Iraq. We attack Iran. Russia attacks Ukraine, we attack them via Ukraine. Are we inviting a response? Probably. It’s called warfare. Simple.

Complaining about the Russians being pissed about this is hypocritical, because we sure as shit got pissed when it happened to us….and if the Russians did even half of what we did to Iran we’d be utterly outraged.

Who’s complaining about the Russians being pissed? Why would anyone expect otherwise? Of course they’re pissed. And we’re doubly pissed for what they’re doing in Ukraine.

You did not commit systematic rape, torture and killings of the civil population.

Tigerace117 is a rabidly anti-US individual. I doubt he is even American.

Congrats bud, that might be the most out of touch with reality post you’ve made so far, and that’s REALLY a saying something.

Our mercenaries and soldiers got away with war crimes on multiple occasions, most notably in Haditha.

Your right, the hypocrisy of Russia in demanding the US cease arms to a sovereign country that asks for them, compared an invading force of Russian or Iranian troops into Ukraine or Iraq respectively, attempting for a Defacto take over than nation is downright blinding.

That is what you said, right?

LMAO...

No, I meant it was hypocritical for the country which whacked a top foreign military commander for doing the exact same thing we’re doing to whine when called out.

Duh.

He said Putin can pound sand, bring it on, something to that effect. Not sure why you interpreted those comments as being “pissed.”

Oh look, the McCarthyist can’t read.

No one served time for the atrocities committed at Haditha. Shrieking “but at least the mass murderers didn’t raid anyone” doesn’t change the fact that said killers got away with committing a blatant war crime.

They were court martialed. A fact you can't seem to digest.

That isn't nothing.

And "raid anyone"?

How does one "raid" someone?

They murdered more than twenty Iraqi civilians and not one of them went to jail for it.

They got off scot free.

It was a blatant war crime, and every last one of them walked away with their freedom.
