Russian Defense Minister Threatens to Bomb Arms Shipments Sent from NATO to Ukraine

Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu has warned that any NATO transport carrying weapons that reaches Ukraine will be treated as a military target.

The Russian added that "the United States of America (USA) and its North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) allies continue to send weapons into Ukraine.

Shoigu stressed that "any means of NATO transportation that reaches Ukrainian territory, carrying weapons or equipment to meet the needs of the Ukrainian armed forces, will be considered a legitimate target for destruction."

He warned that Ukrainian nationalists are ignoring our demand that they release civilians from the Azovstal complex and lay down their weapons.
