Russia: US Pumping Ukraine with Weapons to Protract War 'Up Till Last Ukrainian'

"The ruling elites in the US, regardless of party affiliation, are ready to arm the regime in Kiev so that it will be able to figh t up till the last Ukrainian and continue, among other things, terroris t attacks on civilian targets on Russian territory, sabotage attacks and killing journalists," the ministry said in a statement, Sputnik reported.

The White House is no longer counting on a "mythical Ukrainian victory", but wants the Ukrainian army to hold out at least until the presidential election in the US, in order not to ruin the image of US President Joe Biden, the ministry noted.

"The actions of the US, as a de facto party to the conflict, will be unconditionally and decisively rebuffed, and Washington's ever-deeper plunge into hybrid warfare against Russia will turn out to be as loud and humiliating of a fiasco for the United States as it was in Vietnam and Afghanistan. In any case, the feverish attempts to save [Ukrainian President Volodymyr] Zelensky's neo-Nazi regime are doomed to failure. The goals and objectives of the special military operation will be fully achieved," it added.

Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova also stated the US military aid for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan will aggravate the global crises. 

"The military aid earmarked by the United States for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan will exacerbate the global crises, as the military aid to the Kiev regime is direct financial support of * activity, [the aid] to Taiwan is an interference in China’s domestic affairs and to Israel is a direct path to the unprecedented escalation in the region," she wrote on her Telegram channel.

The $95bln package of bills on military aid for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan, on the seizure of the frozen Russian sovereign assets in order to give them to Kiev, and on additional sanctions against China passed the US House of Representatives on Saturday. In particular, the package includes $60 billion for Kiev and $26 billion for Israel and humanitarian aid for civilians in the conflict zones, including the Gaza Strip.

Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov also told TASS the decision of the US House of Representatives to allocate aid to Kiev will make America richer but Ukraine more bankrupt, 

"The decision to provide aid to Ukraine was anticipated and predictable. This will make the United States of America far richer but will ruin Ukraine further, making more Ukrainians killed because of the Kiev regime," Peskov said.

"As for the bill on the seizure of Russian assets, we still need to sort out the details. In any case, as long as the seizure of our assets is in question, this will cause irreparable damage to the image of the United States of America, this will force numerous investors in that country to save their funds, since the immutability of private property, what is more state property, will be violated," he continued.

"Of course, if it is really true, America will have to answer for this. And here there are unlikely to be any time limits. And we will be taking action in such a way that best meets our interests," the spokesperson added.
