Dmitry Polyanskiy, the first deputy permanent representative to the U.N., told Newsweek he believes the U.S. and other NATO member states are "pouring oil onto the fire" by supplying Ukraine with military aid and weapons to assist in the fight against Russia.
The Kremlin has issued repeated warnings about arming Ukraine. The U.S.-made High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS) have gained widespread attention for their effectiveness in the conflict, and they have been credited with turning the tide of the war.
In January, President Joe Biden announced that the U.S. will provide Ukraine with 31 M1 Abrams tanks. His confirmation came on the same day that Germany said it would give Ukraine 13 Leopard 2 tanks.
