MOSCOW. March 24 (Interfax) - Russia will not stay indifferent to Washington's possible decision to begin supplying lethal weapons to Ukraine, Alexei Pushkov, who chairs the Foreign Affairs Committee in the State Duma, the lower chamber of Russia's parliament, has said.
"The Congress is urging the president of the United States to begin delivering weapons to the country which has extremely complicated relations with Russia, one of the world's leading states and a country that has nuclear weapons. If these weapons are sent, the American Congress and the American executive branch of power, if it makes such a decision, will embark on a path toward sharply hiking the grade of confrontation," Pushkov told Interfax on Tuesday.
"I do not think that Russia will stay indifferent to such a decision, should it be adopted," he added.
