Russia has ramped up its rhetoric against the West, blaming the United States for Ukraine’s alleged use of US-supplied weapons against civilians on its soil and accusing France of fuelling tensions across Europe.
Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on Friday that the US’s decision last week to greenlight Ukraine’s firing of US-supplied weapons into Russia amounted to “a confession … for the murder of children and women in the Belgorod region”.
