Russia threatens US over weapons deliveries as its forces strike targets in western Ukraine
CNN
Russia has raised the risk of further escalation with NATO powers, warning it will treat arms shipments to Ukraine as "legitimate targets" for military action as its forces start to expand their offensive near the northwestern city of Lviv.
The threat from the deputy foreign minister, Sergei Ryabkov, comes as the situation in the war-torn country grows more dire, with cities and towns across Ukraine under ceaseless Russian bombardment spurring calls for the West to step up efforts to assist in its defense.
The United States and other NATO allies have so far supported Ukraine's resistance through the delivery of high-tech military equipment and weapons, including anti-tank and anti-aircraft missiles.
