───── | ─────
Russian Ambassador to the United States Anatoly Antonov: "Let me remind you that we consider strikes on this territory as an attack on any other subject of the Russian Federation. It is important that the United States fully were aware of Russia's retaliatory measures"
Antonov also criticized discussions in the West regarding sending fighter jets to Ukraine, stating that "Washington has completely subordinated the G7 members to its own line" on the matter. He claimed that "every specialist knows that Ukraine lacks the infrastructure to operate the F-16, and the required number of pilots and maintenance personnel are also missing."
