Russian Foreign Ministry: effects of Washington's support for Kyiv will be disastrous

MOSCOW. April 17 (Interfax) - The Russian Foreign Ministry has accused the leadership of the United States of approving 'the war against its own people' declared by the Ukrainian authorities and warned that such 'reckless' support for the regime in Kyiv will have disastrous consequences.

"When the ruling regime in Kyiv staked on the use of force, the public discourse of White House and State Department officials about "the maintenance of law and order" means nothing but approval of the war declared against its own people. Washington must realize the disastrous consequences of such reckless support for its dependents," a Wednesday commentary of the Foreign Ministry information and press department says.
