Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman: Increased Western military assistance to Ukraine will lead to a dangerous escalation of the conflict

Today, the eighth meeting of the so-called contact group on defense assistance to Ukraine began at the US military base in the German city of Ramstein. The summit brought together the heads of the military departments of fifty countries and the leadership of NATO with one goal - to discuss ways and means of increasing military assistance to Kyiv.

On the eve of the summit and at it itself, many Western politicians, defense ministers and heads of state have already voiced theses about the need to increase supplies weapons to Ukraine, including modern heavy weapons, in order to help the Armed Forces of Ukraine defeat the Russian army.



The militaristic statements of the European and American allies of Kyiv were commented on by the Russian Foreign Ministry. The official representative of the Russian diplomatic department, Maria Zakharova, answered journalists about the Ukrainian crisis on the agency’s website.

Director of the Information and Press Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation Maria Zakharova recalled that the main topic at the meeting in Ramstein was the supply of modern air defense systems and basic tanks NATO armies. The day before, the United States presented sending a new batch of weapons to Kyiv in the amount of $2,5 billion.

The head of the State Department, Anthony Blinken, called for providing Ukraine with "everything necessary to achieve success on the battlefield." The Biden administration has seriously started talking about the fact that the Armed Forces of Ukraine have the right to strike at the Crimea with American weapons, which the Pentagon is ready to supply to Kyiv.

Zakharova drew attention to the recent statement by the head of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, who called on NATO countries to give Kyiv any weapons it can use.

We regard all this as an open provocative incitement of the West and an increase in the stakes in the conflict, which will inevitably lead to an increase in casualties and a dangerous escalation

- warned the representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry of the Kyiv allies.

The general conclusion from the warnings of the Russian diplomat can be drawn as follows. It's time for the Western allies of the Kyiv regime to turn on the instinct of self-preservation, which is inherent even in the lower forms of life, especially in a rational person. After all, continuing to fan the flames of a military conflict in Europe more and more, the West runs the risk of eventually being absorbed by it.

At the same time, the representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry emphasized, Western politicians hypocritically express concern about the victims of the conflict in Ukraine, but do not react in any way to the shelling of civilians living in the territory of the Russian Federation by Ukrainian troops. And the lives of Ukrainians, who die en masse at the front and are subjected to violence by Nazi formations and power structures of the Kyiv junta, do not care about the West at all, Zakharova noted.

Kyiv and its American and European masters do not spare either the population of Ukraine or the Ukrainian military personnel, whom they are ready to sacrifice for their own greed and an irresistible desire to harm Russia.

Zakharova concluded.

    They believe in their red lines so much that they are already installing armor on the building of the Ministry of Defense. Apparently they are talking for themselves, to calm

      Hour X will come soon .. Russia is concentrating and we have enough missiles for EVERYONE in which case soldier
      Do they need a war to the last Ukrainian? And Russia has adopted these rules of the West And we are wetting, for now, pointwise, but we can cover it completely and really would not like it .. Such things are going on men in the tank divisions of the Urals and the Strategic Missile Forces .. hi

      that armor is already being installed on the building of the Ministry of Defense.


      shells were installed on buildings in Sochi during the 2014 Olympics, so what? Or do you think that armageddon should be staged for any drone attack?
      You need to hit hard only when the West abandons all its reserves, not earlier and not later. And in connection with the large deliveries announced by the West, this will already be this spring.
      Only scorched earth and ruins will remain of Ukraine.

    And you can no longer comment on these dormoeds, not a single ally, or rather one with reservations. Put this laurel as a scarecrow in the Donbass, near the trench. Remember how he gave interviews after meetings with Kerry, they say they came to an agreement, and Kerry the next day did not agree on anything. Mediocrity destroys everything.

    I just can’t understand, well, they will supply equipment, well, they will drag out the conflict. They do not want to go into the meat grinder themselves. What will they get out of it in the long run? If the Russian Federation receives an army that will have full-fledged combat experience (including the experience gained for various kinds of equipment and its further improvement). The rise in production and the beginning of the creation of something of their own (largely thanks to the West, they themselves were not in a particular hurry to raise their industry, and now, like it or not, you have to go forward, albeit in small steps). And what will the US get in the long run (Europe will obviously be in the red for anyone)?

        Well, I also thought that the main emphasis was on the economic destruction of Russia. However, they did not succeed, moreover, apparently they were not even close to it. And now there is hopelessness, and it seems that all their actions come from the fact that they simply do not know what to do. It seems to me that even the most optimistic people do not believe in the victory of Ukraine. Simply put, even if 1000 Khokhl tanks are delivered tomorrow, this will undoubtedly cause difficulties for our troops, but this is unlikely to fundamentally affect the outcome.

            except perhaps to kill civilians, or to win back some toilet on the outskirts, by no means for a real victory. Ukraine in the military conflict lost only its more than 2500 tanks + at least a thousand tanks from the countries of the former Warsaw Pact.

      They want to ensure victory for Ukraine and will supply weapons until they achieve this. Gradually, more and more new weapons will be delivered. Now in the war, technology decides. They will supply Ukraine with several thousand drones, guided missiles that will destroy artillery / armored vehicles / warehouses ... And they will clear the territory with armored vehicles. Yes, Russia had no choice to enter into a confrontation, but it is necessary to defeat 50+ countries that can produce more and better weapons. How to do it without nuclear weapons? The United States has already received a subordinate and controlled Europe, forced it to tarry on weapons, weakened the economy. If Russia loses, then the US will control most of the countries with hydrocarbons, and hence the price of them. In addition, by defeating the nuclear power, which once was the only one that fully opposed it, America will become a full-fledged hegemon and will rule the planet. here is the schedule.

        Ukraine has already received several thousand drones and guided missiles. And that in the end they caused trouble, especially at first and no more. To increase production, large resources are needed. This is not done with the wave of a magic wand. "It's better to produce weapons" - how is it?

        with the help of REB and air defense, we will destroy all drones and missiles. We will clean the territory of Ukraine with armored vehicles and deliver a hypersonic tactical nuclear strike across Europe.

        Quote from Constantin N.
        but you need to defeat 50+ countries that can produce more and better weapons.


        of these 50 countries, only a few can produce weapons, which can be counted on the fingers of one hand. In terms of armored vehicles, only Germany and the United States are so, and in general, now that the West has raked out stocks of Soviet weapons around the world and Russia has disposed of it in Ukraine, the very only supplier who only the American military-industrial complex can massively supply weapons to Ukraine.
        And he, too, is not bottomless, and raking out his warehouses cleanly for the sake of Ukraine alone will obviously not deprive Taiwan of arms supplies.
        Moreover, as this January showed that the stocks of cannon fodder in Ukraine are exhausted, otherwise they would not have started to catch men of pre-retirement age accompanied by police on the streets.

          but it’s better not to ask questions here, first express your thoughts so that it’s clear .. Who and what!

    reading the comments, I would still recommend remembering the past years .. then the overwhelming majority did not believe that the Russian Federation would decide on a NWO. We don't have perfect government. and yes, we ourselves are to blame for being too gullible. therefore, if we assume a city like Warsaw will disappear during a nuclear strike. don't be surprised later :)

      Good comment .. I would also add that the Russians and Russia were simply brought down, and especially the inner penny column of fat and arrogant bloodsuckers (most fled with a screech, but the most dangerous are waiting in the wings)
      Let's break through the Anglo-Saxons panic and make mistake after mistake and unite the peoples of Russia before the next historical confrontation ..
      PS Russia has a lot of territory (even taking into account the distribution)) And there are even more resources and we don’t have the task of conquering something or someone .. Well, when there is a danger to our statehood and a thousand-year-old core, then don’t be offended by the haspod and once again get nose and lower back..

    What is the escalation. They have ceased to be afraid, if they were afraid, and now they want to achieve their goals. How do we respond to the US and Europe? Essentially nothing. It is necessary to drive Ukraine into the dust, and not draw red lines. Let's drive it to dust, a new reality will arise, and here it will be possible to agree.

    It's time to stop reacting to all these Western anti-Russian antics. Everything has been clear and understandable for a long time. We must stop talking and admonish the incorrigible deceitful "Western partners". It's time to calmly and confidently do business. Everything true is silent.
