This comes after the Defense Department confirmed an upcoming announcement by the Biden administration for another military assistance package worth $3 billion.

In response to the decision by the White House to send Bradley fighting vehicles to Ukraine, Russia's Ambassador to the US, Anatoly Antonov, said on Thursday that this indicates that the US does not want any peace or political settlement for the war in Ukraine. 

On Friday, the US Defense Department confirmed an upcoming announcement by the Biden administration for another military assistance package, which would entail Bradley fighting vehicles being sent to Ukraine. Media outlets report that the package includes around $3 billion worth of military equipment.

"This step [the delivery of Bradley fighting vehicles] comes as a confirmation that our interlocutors in the United States have not even tried to listen to our numerous calls to take into account possible consequences of such a dangerous course by Washington," Antonov relayed to journalists, adding that "nobody should still have doubts who bears responsibility for prolonging this conflict. All the actions by the Administration indicate a lack of any desire for a political settlement."

Discussions about the "defensive nature" of weapons supplied by Western countries has become "absurd," as he continued that "it is finally becoming clear to the whole international community that in 2014 the US unleashed a real proxy-war against Russia by supporting nazi criminals in Kiev."

Western betrayals

"The actions of the Administration spur Ukrainian radicals to proceed with their terrible deeds. With every consecutive transfer of arms their feeling of impunity grows stronger," Antonov concluded, additionally stating that the West intended "to purposefully weaken Russia" under US leadership even before the war in Ukraine, recalling statements made by former German Chancellor Angela Merkel and ex-French President Francois Hollande.

In December, Merkel told the Zeit newspaper in an interview: "The 2014 Minsk agreement was an attempt to give time to Ukraine. It also used this time to become stronger as can be seen today. The Ukraine of 2014-2015 is not the modern Ukraine." 

Hollande also revealed that the international agreements for which France acted as guarantor were little more than a ruse to buy the Ukrainian regime some time while it upgraded its military with equipment and training from NATO.

“Since 2014, Ukraine has strengthened its military posture… It is the merit of the Minsk Agreements to have given the Ukrainian Army this opportunity,” he said to a Ukrainian media outlet.

Just recently, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced that the US will provide an additional $1.85 billion in military assistance for Ukraine, with the assistance consisting of a Patriot air defense system.
