US Arms Sales to Kyiv Would Only Fuel Tensions: Russian Official

MOSCOW, November 20 (Sputinik) – Possible US arms sales to Ukraine will only fuel tensions in the country hit by a massive civil conflict, Russian Security Council Secretary Nikolai Patrushev said Thursday.

“I think that the US was among those who initiated the current conflict in Ukraine. If they sell weapons there, the conflict will only intensify,” Patrushev told RIA Novosti, commenting on US Administration plans to sell weapons to the Kyiv government.
