MOSCOW, October 15. /TASS/. By supporting the supply of US Tomahawk missiles and transferring high-precision weapons to Ukraine, the European Union has demonstrated its lack of political will for peace, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said during a briefing.
She also emphasized that Russia would use every available means to protect its compatriots in Latvia. Below are the key statements made by the Foreign Ministry spokeswoman, as compiled by TASS.
The Kiev regime is openly preparing new terrorist attacks against Russia, citing the potential supply of US Tomahawk long-range missiles to Ukraine. "Obviously, these plans were drawn up with an eye to the possible appearance of US Tomahawk long-range missiles in the Ukrainian military."
Russia firmly rejects any form of blackmail or intimidation: "Attempts to use the threat of terror or to speak to our country in an arrogant manner, from a position of strength, are unacceptable to us."
The EU’s endorsement of Tomahawk deliveries reflects its unwillingness to pursue peace: "They are deliberately prolonging conflicts, pursuing selfish goals, striving to prevent the collapse of the world order they created, and inflicting maximum damage on our country without considering the inevitable consequences, including for themselves."
