KW: This amounts to full confrontation with Russia. While it exposes the U.S. as the aggressor nation and invader of Ukraine rather than the lies that Russia is the invader as expoused by western media the Ukrainian are bitter toward Russia from the Soviet Union days and this is how the Americans are going to finally confront Russia in Russian territory by using the maddened Ukrainians as proxy. The wolrd is in a very unstable and dangerous phase.

RT reports ‘The move by the US government is an escalation compared to the previous practice of providing weapons to Kiev through contracts with American arms producers, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov said in a statement. “In a sense, the US has crossed a line.”

The Russian diplomat added that Washington can no longer claim the role of mediator in the Ukrainian conflict, because in fact it’s an “accomplice in igniting a war.” He said Moscow believes there is no use in appealing to the common sense of American politicians, since many of them are currently “blinded by Russophobia and eagerly applaud the Ukrainian nationalist punitive battalions.”’

…and there’s already talk of anti-aircraft missiles.
