Almost a year after the military clashes between Kiev and Moscow began, Ukraine continues to absurdly stigmatize Russia as an “invader,” “a war-crime nation,” and “a destroyer of peace,” without taking into account that they were the cause of the current situation, an official communiqué stated.

The document pointed out that the Russian Foreign Intelligence Bureau recently announced that the United States and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) member countries supplied Ukraine with 440 tanks, 1,510 armored combat vehicles, 665 cannons, and more than 1,800,000 howitzers of different kinds.

The US Department of Defense also acknowledged that since February 2022, it helped Kiev with the shipment of arms worth 29.8 billion dollars, it added.

The statement warned that if the US continues to resort to reckless military aid to Ukraine as it has done so far, Russia’s strong response will be inevitable, further worsen the regional security situation, and enlarge the danger of an armed clash between Russia and the United States.
