The supply of lethal weapons of the USA to Ukraine after the Minsk agreements will be absolutely irresponsible decision and will lead to escalation of the confrontation in this country, said Russian Ambassador to the U.S. Sergey Kislyak in an interview to television channel

In regard to the supply of arms, again, This is from the area that it's more profitable to ask our American colleagues what they themselves think. I'll tell you what I think about It: It would be absolutely irresponsible and led to the increasing escalation of the conflict in Ukraine. It was so to the Minsk agreement and, moreover, it will be so, if It is someone will think in the implementation period of the Minsk agreements. Because there needs peace, not weapons coming from the U.S., " said Kislyak.
