Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on Friday warned that any cargo transporting weapons to Ukraine will be considered "legitimate targets" for Russian troops as it pushes forward with its invasion.
The comments come as Ukraine continues to ask for military help in its fight against Russian troops.
"We clearly said that any cargo moving into the Ukrainian territory which we would believe is carrying weapons would be fair game,” Lavrov said on RT Friday, ABC News reported.
“This is clear because we are implementing the operation the goal of which is to remove any threat to the Russian Federation coming from the Ukrainian soil," he added.
Lavrov's comments come a day after Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham (S.C.) introduced a resolution to give Ukraine fighter jets and air defense systems.
"I'm urging the Senate to speak with one voice, to meet the moment. ... If we had a vote on the resolution to supply the Ukrainian military with the MiG fighters and other air defense systems, it would be a shot in the arm to Ukrainian people and their military," Graham said.

Nuke Moscow
What would happen if the West put together a Mariupol Airlift to drop food, meds etc, not weapons, into Mariupol? Would Putin do what his hero Stalin did not do in ‘48.
7 I wouldn’t expect anything else. Whether it’s legitimate or not is another question.
Russian military would be absolutely safe if they just went home.
Obama was so afraid in 2014 that he didn’t allow Ukraine to buy any missiles. He said it would risk WW3.
Of course none of that happened when Trump sent them Javelins.
Not our fight. Screw ukraine.
Nuke DC. You don't have any friends there.
They have been hitting non-legitimate targets already.
As a side note,(from FOX Business, Gordon Chang) China has been giving Russia targeting intelligence on Ukranian drone operators.
The drones are made in China.
Would love to see Putin nuke the New York Times, Washington Post, CNN and MSNBC just for starters. /spit
That box is big enough to carry a suitcase nuke. And the Ukes have enough capability to design and build such nukes.
And they are correct...
Including Russians? Could get rough for them.
They tried it the nice-guy way. Got invaded twice by the Rukes, duped and sold down the river by us.

Next up is the not-so-nice-guy way. And don’t bother asking them to give back those nukes.
Send Brandon surrounded by armed Secret Service agents!
Not our fight.
Yup. Nuke Moscow? My life won’t get better.
Nuke DC? My life might get better.
And the basic topic seems like the Lusitania and WWI. If you ship weapons to one side, the other side might do something. Duh. Why wouldn’t they? Wilson used it as an excuse for war. He wanted the war.
This has been a long-accepted law of warfare.
UH HUH...right.
Nuke Kiev too, both are worthless.
The Turkish-bought TB2 drones have been far too effective to believe they are aiding the Soviets in real-time from Chinese geoloc feedback viz any internal chip source code.
The Ukrainian home-grown "Punisher" drones, almost surely have Chinese chips but again, is the info as revealing as DJI real-time feedback? Unlikely.
