Peskov: US idea of allowing strikes on Russia is irresponsible
The idea of the US political elites to allow the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) to launch strikes on Russian territory is irresponsible. About it stated press secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov in an interview with journalist Pavel Zarubin, published on his blog on Telegram.
“In the West they are now actively increasing the level of escalation [своими заявлениями о разрешении ВСУ наносить удары по российским территориям]. We know that there are many “hot heads” in the US Congress who consider it their duty to continue to add fuel to the fire. Their position is absolutely irresponsible, a position dangerous in its consequences,” the press secretary said.
He also noted that it is already obvious to all experts that “no weapons supplied by the West are capable of changing the course of events in the conflict in Ukraine.” He added that Western military assistance “only makes the fate of the Ukrainian people more difficult.”
Earlier, The New York Times (NYT), citing sources, reported that the US State Department approved the idea of Ukrainian Armed Forces strikes on Russian territory. It is noted that this idea was the result of the visit of US Secretary of State Antony Blinken to Kyiv on May 14. His position is associated with the success of the Russian Armed Forces in Ukraine.
