Russia has warned NATO countries ferrying weapons to Ukraine that their convoys could be targeted by its forces.
Russian Deputy foreign minister Sergei Ryabkov gave the warning Friday.
He cautioned the West against “mindlessly pumping weapons” into Ukraine, in a report by Sputnik News.
He stressed that it is a dangerous move and that convoys carrying these weapons will be legitimate targets for the Russian military.
Ryabkov also said Moscow could resume a security dialogue with the US if Washington is ready to do so.
He added that Russia is also prepared to discuss the issue of the New START treaty, which had been put on hold as well.
At the same time, Ryabkov said that Moscow’s propositions for a security dialogue have changed since the last time it was on the agenda.
“I would not say that [earlier Russian proposals on security guarantees], remain in force.
“The [security] landscape has completely changed and now the situation is radically different”, Ryabkov said.
The deputy minister added that Russia will not make any concessions to the US in matters of strategic stability.
He also warned Washington against any reckless steps in this area.
