Russia has previously sent notes to NATO countries on the issue of supplying weapons to Ukraine. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said that any supplies to Ukraine for weapons will be a legitimate target. The Russian Foreign Ministry pointed out that NATO countries are “playing with fire” by providing weapons to Ukraine. Russian Presidential Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov said that the transfer of weapons from Western countries to Ukraine will not help the success of Russia-Ukraine negotiations and will have a negative impact. Lavrov pointed out that the United States and NATO are directly involved in the Ukrainian conflict, including not only providing weapons but also training personnel on the territory of Britain, Germany, Italy and other countries.
