US risks ‘direct conflict’ with Russia over Ukraine – envoy
As Moscow’s envoy warned the UN, the Pentagon announced the list of new weapons for Kiev
ContinuedAmerican deliveries of weapons, intelligence and even fighters to Ukraine are approaching the “dangerous line” of direct confrontation with Moscow, Russian diplomat Konstantin Vorontsov told the UN General Assembly on Tuesday. Shortly before that, the Pentagon announced the contents of another military shipment to Ukraine, valued at $625 million.
“The US is increasing the deliveries of weapons to Ukraine, providing its military with intelligence information, ensuring the direct participation of its fighters and advisers in the conflict,” Vorontsov, who is the deputy head of the Russian delegation, told the General Assembly’s First Committee, a body charged with arms control and security issues.
This “not only prolongs hostilities and leads to new casualties, but also brings the situation closer to the dangerous line of a direct military clash between Russia and NATO,” Vorontsov added.
Moscow has repeatedly warned the US and its allies against sending weapons, ammunition and equipment to Ukraine, but Washington and NATO vowed to keep doing so for “as long as it takes,” while insisting that doesn’t make them a party to the conflict.
According to the Pentagon, the US has spent more than $19.6 billion in “security assistance”to Ukraine since 2014, and another $16.8 billion since February 24, when the Russian military operation began. The US will continue to provide Ukraine with “key capabilities” and to address Kiev’s “evolving battlefield requirements,” the military added.
The latest batch of weapons and equipment, valued at $625 million, includes four High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS) and ammunition for them, 16 each of the 155mm and 105mm howitzers, 75,000 rounds for artillery ammunition – including guided rounds and remote mine-laying ones – small arms and mortar rounds, and 200 MRAP armored vehicles.

Russia will likely bleed us of our weapons, let us siphon away billions and billions of dollars into oblivion, and once weakened we are much more vulnerable to their attack.
They don't really need to attack outside of their own back yard, but it makes a NATO attack harder to achieve.
Russia has mostly Soviet Stockpiles left. The US has the mightiest war machine the world has ever seen and would crush Russia over a weekend.
Only a handful of HIRMAS fucking detroyed most of Russia's ammo piles so now they are struggling to resupply their forces in Ukraine.
No country in the world has the capacity to build and field so many arms and armor as the USA does while Russia has to cannibalize washing machines for microchips.
The US would pulevrize whatever is left of Russia's armed forces if they dared to attack.
This response certainly glows with Glowie Shillness.
The fear control narrative is so stoopid… but I guess the Sheeple are stoooopider!!!
Russians shitting their pants.
GO USA
