Kremlin: US is adding fuel to the fire by supplying long-range missiles to Ukraine
(Baonghean.vn) - The US continues to add fuel to the fire by providing long-range missiles to Kiev, but the outcome of the special military campaign in Ukraine is a foregone conclusion: Russia will win, Russian President's press secretary Dmitry Peskov announced on April 25.
Commenting on the information that the US secretly supplied long-range missiles to Kiev, Mr. Peskov emphasized: "They continue to add fuel to the fire. They will not be able to change anything about the results of the special military operation. The result is a predetermined conclusion and the current situation on the fronts proves this. We will win" - Mr. Peskov said in an interview with Pavel Zarubin, a part of which was posted on the journalist's Telegram channel.
In an interview, Mr. Peskov said that this was a further confirmation of the US involvement in the conflict in Ukraine. “The US continues to add fuel to the fire, violating domestic law and once again confirming its direct involvement in this conflict,” Mr. Peskov said.
Meanwhile, the Pentagon acknowledged that Ukraine would be able to use its recently delivered long-range ATACMS tactical missiles to attack the Crimean peninsula, the New York Times reported.
The Pentagon confirmed on Wednesday that it had delivered advanced operational-tactical missiles to Ukraine for use “on Ukrainian sovereign territory.” The missiles were included in a military aid package announced in March and arrived in Ukraine in April.
The media reported that Kiev had used them twice to strike targets deep in the Russian rear.“Ukrainian forces will be able to use… the recently delivered long-range missile systems to effectively strike Russian forces in… Crimea,” the publication said. Officials said the purpose of using the increased-range systems was to “increase pressure” on the Crimean peninsula.
