MOSCOW, July 15. /TASS/. It's time for the West to stop hiding behind the talk of peace, and to end the conflict in Ukraine by stopping weapons supplies to Kiev, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said.

"Arms supplies are one of the obstacles to the Ukrainian settlement," the diplomat said at a briefing. She recalled the "self-revealing statements" of former European Union foreign policy chief Josep Borrell that without Western supplies, the conflict in Ukraine "would have ended within days, weeks or a month."

"If the Western OSCE participating states sincerely want to put an end to the confrontation, which drains the resources of their own taxpayers, they just need to stop providing weapons to the Kiev regime," she said.

"But we can see what's really going on. Then let them not hide behind the talk of peace, but directly say that they want only one thing - aggression."

She said there were facts galore of the use of Western weapons and other equipment against the civilian Russians.
