Russia has formally warned the US - and other allied nations - against supplying weapons to Ukraine.
The warning came in a formal diplomatic note from Moscow, a copy of which has been reviewed by media outlets in the US.
The two-page diplomatic note – forwarded to the US State Department by the Russian embassy in Washington - warns that US and Nato weapons shipments are "adding fuel" to the conflict in Ukraine, and could lead to what Russian diplomats refer to as "unpredictable consequences".
It was sent on Tuesday, just as word of a new US military aid package for Ukraine had started to leak out. Only hours later President Biden approved the shipment of $800m of military assistance - including, for the first time, long range artillery weapons such as howitzers – with the aim of matching Russia’s military capability in Ukraine.
A senior US administration official was quoted as saying the warning could be seen as a concession by Russia that US and Nato military assistance to Ukraine was proving effective.
The first part of this latest shipment is expected to arrive in Ukraine in the next few days, as Russian forces continue to mobilise in the east of the country, ahead of what is expected to be a major assault on the disputed Donbas region of Ukraine in the next few weeks.
Since the war began the US has supplied more than $3bn in military assistance to Ukraine.

Russian do your worst jor, we are tired of your nonsensical wickedness

Caping nonsense

Why do you want to fight Ukraine as an handicap... Abeg let them access weapons and fight man to man

PUTIN IS JUST POSING.

This is a daft request. Ukraine is free to interact with other nations and trade with them. Even Russia as big as they are still import things. The difference here is that Ukraine will be paying much later for these aides except US and other donors & lenders decide to waive repayment.
Putin should swallow his foolish pride and accept failure because this war was suppose to last 10 days at most. By now the initial €15b war budget is already exhausted.
I heard Putin killers now moves with mobile crematorium in mariupol to make bodies of those Putin claims he wants to liberate disappear. What a contradiction!

This war is between Russia and America. Ukraine is just being used as a pawn in the game. America and NATO should have kept to the agreement they made with Russia after the fall of the former Soviet Union. Right now, America and NATO are just poking the bear which is Russia. Sweden and Finland are also considering joining NATO and Russia also told them that there will be grave consequences should they try it. Anyway, I feel sorry for those residing in Europe and America because when those missiles start flying, it will not be funny for those on the ground. Make we dey watch.

This. $3bn dollars on a war that isn't the US's? Hahahaha the US is simply fighting its adversary in the most efficient and risk adverse way possible. Imagine fighting your enemy, but you don't use your own soldiers, the fight isn't on your land and the political backlash is minimal because... it's not America.

The homeland will not be a war zone.

All these warnings here n there is getting more n more boring to the whole word per se....the West or Russia should just do their worst, make we rest. I will not even post any topic about this nonsensical war again.
I'm even praying for the world to end this year so I can make heaven now that I'm still on the holy side.
