Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova warned that the escalation path followed by the US, granting more concessions to the Kiev regime by allowing it to use its weapons even deep inside Russian territory, has become more provocative.

Zakharova said in an exclusive interview with Sputnik published on Friday, "Ukraine has been given carte blanche for operations in Russian territory,” noting that "It is clear that the US administration is preparing to make new concessions to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, giving him freedom to use almost any type of American weapons, including deep inside Russian territory.”

"The US escalation path has become more provocative, and it seems that the political establishment there has abandoned the remnants of common sense, and believes that everything is permissible for it”, Zakharova added.
