The U.S. is approaching a precipice in the Ukraine issue, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov said in an interview with RT, APA reports citing TASS.
He stated that the reason for this is the idea that Russia can be defeated on the battlefield: "The U.S. currently lives in a dark world of illusions that they themselves have created. They believe they can defeat Russia on the battlefield. The outcome of this idea will not end well for them and for those who turn a blind eye to this bitter reality."
Russian Deputy Foreign Minister also issued a stern warning, pledging to destroy any ATACM missiles delivered to Ukraine by the United States.
Ryabkov highlighted the heightened dangers and risks posed by a potential U.S. decision to permit Kyiv to target deep within Russian territory using these long-range missiles. The deployment of such weaponry, he warned, would escalate the conflict significantly.
The international community continues to watch closely as tensions remain high between Russia and Ukraine.
