Moscow said Washington has effectively encouraged attacks on Russian territory

The decision to supply Ukraine with longer-range missiles marks a “deliberate escalation” by the United States, Russia’s ambassador to Washington has said, warning that Moscow would not tolerate strikes on Russian cities.

In a statement on Friday evening, Ambassador Anatoly Antonov commented on the latest round of US military aid approved for Ukraine earlier in the day, which is set to include Ground Launched Small Diameter Bombs (GLSDB) – munitions with an operational range of 93 miles (150 kilometers).

“Washington sees no boundaries in seeking to inflict a strategic defeat on Russia.

The sooner the United States realizes this, the sooner the current conflict will end.”
