'Such an irresponsible step will be extremely destabilizing, contribute to an additional increase in tension and provoke an arms race,' a Russian official said.
Russia has issued its newest warning to the U.S. against sending longer-range missiles to Ukraine, saying that providing such weapons would cross its"red line."
Speaking at a briefing Thursday, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova threatened that the U.S. could face consequences if it does not heed the warning, according to Russian state-owned news agency Ria Novosti. "The United States and its allies, which supply weapons to the Kyiv regime, actually become accomplices in its war crimes," Zakharova said."If Washington decides to supply Kyiv with longer-range missiles, it will cross the red line and become a direct party to the conflict. We reserve the right to defend our territory with [everything available to us].
"In such a scenario, we will be forced to respond adequately, in my opinion, this is obvious. Such an irresponsible step will be extremely destabilizing, contribute to an additional increase in tension and provoke an arms race."
