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, which has a range of 300 km, then it is full of direct involvement in the conflict with Russia.
Antonov noted that Kyiv is shelling settlements in the Donbas, where civilians are dying.
According to him, if “Ukrainian warriors” get long-range missiles, they will “use them without hesitation” on the territory of Russia.< /p>
The area of destruction includes large Russian cities as well as objects of industrial and transport infrastructure, Antonov pointed out.
“Such a scenario would mean the direct involvement of the United States in a military confrontation with Russia,” he emphasized.
