Moscow.- At an online press conference on Monday, this senior official consider wrong and a simplistic position reducing the current conflict between Moscow and Kyiv to the formula of if there were no special operation, there would not be deliveries of weapons.

He recalled that for more than 20 years Russia drew the attention of the United Kingdom, the United States, and other members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) to its decision, made in 1999, that no one would strengthen its security at the expense of the security of others.

On June 1, Washington announced that its next military aid package to Ukraine includes the supply of the first four units of M142 Himars (high mobility artillery rocket system).

Regarding the controversial delivery, the US government announced earlier that the range of the missiles to be delivered for the use of Himars will not exceed 80 kilometers.

The White House guaranteed  Russia that these systems would not be used against targets on Russian territory. In this regard, the spokeswoman of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, said that such guarantees are worthless and should not be believed. (PL)
