Russia has protested against the U.S. sending military aid to Ukraine, warning of “unpredictable consequences.”
In a diplomatic note sent to the U.S. this week, Moscow expressed its opposition to the Biden administration assisting Ukraine, which is fiercely resisting a Russian invasion.
The Russian Embassy in Washington, D.C, forwarded the document — titled “On Russia’s concerns in the context of massive supplies of weapons and military equipment to the Kiev regime” — to the U.S. State Department.
The Washington Post reviewed a copy of the document, which was written in Russian and sent with an English translation.
The note came after President Joe Biden announced Wednesday that the U.S. would deliver a new $800 million arms package to Ukraine, including heavy artillery, armored vehicles and drones.
“We call on the United States and its allies to stop the irresponsible militarization of Ukraine, which implies unpredictable consequences for regional and international security,” Russia said in the diplomatic note, according to the Post.
Russia alleged that NATO was pressuring Ukraine to end talks with Russia “to continue the bloodshed.” Furthermore, the document claimed that the U.S. was telling other countries to halt cooperation with Russia and to send Soviet-era weapons to Ukraine.
The Kremlin also listed the “most sensitive” weapons being given to Ukraine that are “adding fuel” to the conflict, including “multiple launch rocket systems.” The Czech Republic has sent RM-70 Vampire multiple launch rocket systems to Ukraine, Interfax Ukraine reported Friday.
Russia accused the U.S. and its allies of violating the “rigorous principles” regarding weapons transfers to conflict zones.
The Kremlin also said Washington was failing to consider “the threat of high-precision weapons falling into the hands of radical nationalists, extremists and bandit forces in Ukraine.”

p
fixed it.
I wonder what Russia means by ‘unpredictable’.
Can’t they state their intentions outright?
Unpredictable ... as in what happened to the Moskva?
Hey Vlad, how about this: get out of Ukraine and these "unpredictable consequences" to your vaunted Russian military stop.
Easy peasey.
57,000 dead and over 150,000 Americans maimed in Vietnam from weapons manufactured in Russia, licensed by Russia and sent to Vietnam. Americans were fools to allow North Vietnam’s ports to remain open and bridges and rail lines from China to go unmolested. Nevertheless there was no hesitancy by Russia sending the weapons. Would not be surprised if Vietnam is still making payments for the aid.
Russia has no valid argument.
Tell Pootie-Poot that if he does anything that is either unlawful for waging war or regarding the use of nuclear weapons that Moscow and all of its historical edifices will be flattened within one hour. Then do it. It would be a benefit to the human race.
End of story.
“We call on the United States and its allies to stop the irresponsible militarization of Ukraine, which implies unpredictable consequences for regional and international security,” Russia said in the diplomatic note, according to the Post.
Idiots.
Remember the Lusitania.
I can’t disagree that the result of this is unpredictable.
“Russia has no valid argument.”
They have the same argument the US did.
Expansion of their interdiction zones.
So you support communist expansion in the name of mother russia? And now putin’s expansions?
I wonder what Russia means by ‘unpredictable’.

You really didn’t expect them to tell us what they are planning on doing and let the cat out of the bag.
NamAgeddon
“So you support communist expansion in the name of mother russia? And now putin’s expansions?”
One has to be exceptionally dumb to deduce anything akin to the above from my postings.
And prone to delusions.
But mostly just dumb.
This looks kinda cheesy. And probably is too!
‘Unpredictable’ sounds like a threat.
And I’m not sure they have any ‘plan’. They seem to be in complete disarray.
Because they would respond in a similar fashion?
(Can you elaborate here? Is there an unseen benefit to Mutually Assured Destruction that nobody ever knew about?)
I’m sure glad Russia hasn’t brought on any unpredictable
consequences with its actions. /s
