The West is Not Equipping Kyiv for No Reason: Russian Foreign Ministry

The provision of weapons and instructors to Ukraine by the West forces Russia to conclude that the United States and the United Kingdom are apparently aware of certain military actions being prepared that could complicate the situation, stated Maria Zakharova, the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, as reported by RIA Novosti.

“Taking into account the significant influence that Washington and London have on Kyiv, and generally their role in managing processes in Ukraine, what is worth just the 'independent' provision of weapons and instructors, we conclude that our American and British partners are apparently aware of some military actions being prepared in Ukraine that could significantly complicate the security situation,” Zakharova said in a comment on the Russian Foreign Ministry's website.
