Russian Ambassador to the United States, Anatoly Antonov, said that actions of Western countries amid Moscow's special operation in Ukraine are provocative and dangerous and may prompt a direct military confrontation between Russia and the US.

Antonov told Newsweek that "Western states are directly involved in the current events as they continue to pump Ukraine with weapons and ammunition, thereby inciting further bloodshed." 

The Ambassador went on to say that the West, supplying Ukraine with weapons, is acting dangerous and provocative, stressing that the supplied military equipment is a "legitimate target" for the Russian armed forces.

"We warn that such actions are dangerous and provocative as they are directed against our state," Antonov considered, adding that "they can lead the U.S. and the Russian Federation onto the path of direct military confrontation."

"Any supply of weapons and military equipment from the West, performed by transport convoys through the territory of Ukraine, is a legitimate military target for our Armed Forces," he said.

President of the European Council Charles Michel backed on Thursday a proposal to sell €500 million ($542 million) worth of arms to Ukraine. The proposal was backed by 27 EU nations at the ambassador level.

It is noteworthy that Kremlin Spokesperson Dmitry Peskov confirmed that the Russian military operation in Ukraine is achieving the goals Moscow went in there for, and work is underway on the ground and at the negotiation table.

Peskov had also stressed on Thursday his country's hope of ending the war in the near future.
