Russia Warns U.S. Of 'Military Clash' If More Military Aid Sent To Ukraine: U.S. Promises More Aid

Russia believes that the United States government’s move to deploy more arms to Ukraine constitutes an “immediate threat” to Russia’s national security interests and increases the risk of a direct military confrontation between Russia and the Collective West.

“The supply of military products by the US and its allies not only entails protracted 

bloodshed and new casualties, but also increases the danger of a direct military clash 

between Russia and Western countries,” Russia’s Ambassador to the US Anatoly Antonov 

declared on the Telegram messaging app on October 5, 2022.

“We perceive this as an immediate threat to the strategic interests of our country,” 

Antonov stated, following US President Joe Biden’s promise to send a new $625-million 

military aid package to Ukraine on October 4.

The US package is composed of High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) 

launchers. These systems have figured prominently in Ukraine’s recent counter-offensive 

campaign against Russian forces, which has caused strategic withdrawals in areas such as 

Kharkov.

This latest aid package is the first since Russia incorporated the four Ukrainian territories 

of Donetsk, Kherson, Luhansk, and Zaporizhzhia via controversial referendums

Antonov cautioned the US government to halt its “provocative actions” that could generate

 “serious consequences.” He believes that further military aid could lead to an all-out war 

between the US and Russia.
