Russia previously warned that it will consider “legitimate objectives” of its Armed Forces the weapons supplied by the West to Ukraine.

In this sense, the Russian Foreign Minister, Sergey Lavrov, accused this week the NATO to “fight Russia through its proxy and arm that proxy.”

Moscow also criticized the delivery to Ukraine of Russian helicopters destined for Afghanistan.

“The US decision to supply the aforementioned ‘Afghan’ helicopters to Ukraine grossly violates international law and the corresponding Russian-American contracts,” the Russian Federal Service for Military-Technical Cooperation (FSVTS) denounced in a statement.
