Why is Russia warning that U.S. weapons shipments to Ukraine could prolong the war?
Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Lakshmi Singh. The Russian government warns that US plans to send Ukraine weapons through NATO allies will likely prolong the war. NPR's Charles Main's reports on the Kremlin's reaction to the weapons sales and sanctions threats against Moscow that President Trump announced yesterday.
Trump approved the sale of U.S. made missile defense systems in particular, amid growing frustration over repeat Russian drone and missile strikes on Ukrainian cities. Yet Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Ukraine would see the new arms deliveries, quote, not as a sign of peace, but a signal to continue the war. Peskov said Moscow remains committed to U.S. brokered peace talks with Kyiv that have yielded humanitarian exchanges but made no progress towards a ceasefire. Peskov also noted Trump's threats to impose secondary sanctions and tariffs on Moscow in fifty days' time should Moscow fail to agree to a peace deal were directed at Russian President Vladimir Putin, adding it was up to Putin when and whether to respond.
