This is coming after NATO plans to deploy heavy weapons like battle tanks and long-range missile systems to Ukraine.
The warning from the Kremlin on Thursday came before a key donor meeting as Western countries are considering moving more powerful equipments to Ukraine with forces of Russia intensifying attacks to secure territory.
The Kremlin warned the West not to hand Ukraine heavy weapons that have the capability to strike Russian territory and forces.
Dimitry Peskov, Kremlin spokesman, told newsmen, “potentially, this is extremely dangerous. It will mean bringing the conflict to a whole new level which, of course, will not bode well from the point of view of global and pan-European security.”
