The Russian Ambassador to Washington, Anatoly Antonov, warned that if the United States supplies Kiev with the ATACMS tactical ballistic missile for the M270 MLRS and M142 HIMARS installations with a range of 300 km, it is fraught with their direct involvement in the conflict with Russia.
Antonov noted that Kiev is launching shelling of settlements in Donbass, where civilians are dying.
According to him, if the “Ukrainian soldiers” receive long-range missiles, they will “use them with a negligible amount” and on the territory of Russia.
Major Russian cities, as well as industrial and transport infrastructure facilities, fall into the affected area, Antonov drew attention.
“Such a scenario would mean the direct involvement of the United States in a military confrontation with Russia,” he stressed.
