Long-range arms supplies to Kiev change nature of relations with Russia — envoy to Germany

Long-range arms supplies to Kiev change nature of relations with Russia — envoy to Germany According to Sergey Nechayev, such actions go beyond a simple violation of the established restrictionsKIEL, November 13. /TASS/. By supplying Kiev with long-range weapons for strikes deep inside Russian territory, including to hit civilians, the EU is changing the nature of its relations with Moscow, Russian ambassador to Germany Sergey Nechayev said, answering a question from a TASS correspondent. "As for long-range weapons, we, alas, state that many European countries supply the Kiev regime with such weapons that strike at Russian targets deep inside the country, including against the civilian population," the diplomat noted. According to him, such actions go beyond a simple violation of the established restrictions. "And this, as we understand it, is not only the crossing of some red lines, but a certain new quality of relations with those states that allow themselves to do so," Nechayev concluded. Russia has repeatedly warned Western countries about the consequences of pumping Ukraine with weapons. Moscow pointed out that such steps lead to a further escalation of the conflict and direct involvement of European states in the confrontation.
