NATO countries are increasingly involved in the conflict in Ukraine, with the US intentionally proceeding with an escalation on this track, according to the Russian deputy foreign minister.
Russia’s Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov said on the Rossiya-24 TV channel on Thursday.
"NATO members are increasingly and directly involved in this conflict. Their support for Kyiv is now much diversified than it was a few months ago," Russia’s Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov said on the Rossiya-24 TV channel on Thursday.
"This is a reflection of Washington’s intentional policy, obediently pursued by the Europeans, of escalating the conflict. They are playing with fire. The risks are soaring."
Moscow does not see the West as having any limits on the extent to which it can supply weapons to Ukraine.
Ryabkov emphasized that Europe is pushing ahead with expanding the range of deliveries of ever heavier, longer-range weapons.
At the same time, the West is deceptively trying to create the impression that there is some kind of border, some kind of restraint in this regard. We don't see anything like that, according to him.
He stressed that the Russian side is carrying out bilateral diplomatic work on this issue, primarily with unfriendly countries "to warn them of the consequences of these steps." the UN Security Council is the central platform to resist such Western practices, he said.
