Russia threatens 'serious damage' to relations with US, Turkey over weapons shipment to Ukraine

"The Kremlin has contacted officials in Washington and Ankara with concerns regarding an
upcoming transfer of arms to
Ukraine, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Maria Zakharova said.
Her remarks come a week after
U.S. congressional records revealed that Turkey was planning to re-export a significant package of American-made weapons to Kyiv. The shipment includes 70 long-range Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS), along with other materiel.
The delivery of such weapons will cause "serious damage to our bilateral relations with Washington and Ankara," Zakharova told reporters.
Sending arms to
Ukraine undermines attempts by the U.S. and Turkey to act as mediators in the war between Kyiv and Moscow, the foreign ministry said." KI
