Zakharova: Western weapons in Ukraine are considered legitimate military targets.
According to Al Jazeera, the spokesperson of the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement: “All the weapons sent by the West to Ukraine are considered legitimate military targets, so either we will destroy them or they will be brought under control.”
According to this report, Maria Zakharova continued her speech and added: America cannot shirk its responsibility for terrorist acts against the Russian nation. Washington does not want to start negotiations about Ukraine, and NATO is sending weapons to Ukraine with the aim of escalating the conflict.
He emphasized: Equipping Kiev with the Patriot missile defense system increases the risk of direct participation of the US military in the conflict in Ukraine.
In another part of Zakharova’s speech, it is stated: The statements of UN officials about the alleged torture and assault of women by Russian soldiers in Bucha region in Ukraine and other regions without providing documents and evidence for it have no purpose other than to damage the credibility of Russia.
Earlier, the CNN news channel, citing American officials, announced that the Joe Biden administration is finalizing plans to send Patriot air defense systems to Ukraine. Ukrainians will be trained to use Patriot missiles at a US military base in Germany.
