Russia Threatens Attack On NATO Weapons Shipments To Ukraine: "Legitimate Targets"

Setting the stage for a potential major escalation with Western and NATO powers, the Kremlin warned on Saturday that the Russian military is prepared to target Western arms shipments that are continuing to pour into Ukraine. Russia's Deputy FM Sergei Ryabkov said on state TV that Washington had been informed in the last days that Moscow will see weapons supply convoys entering Ukraine as "legitimate targets".

"We warned the United States that the orchestrated pumping of weapons from a number of countries is not just a dangerous move, it is a move that turns these convoys into legitimate targets," Ryabkov said in the remarks, which served as a severe warning to the West.

He added that Russia has formally warned "about the consequences of the thoughtless transfer to Ukraine of weapons like man-portable air defense systems, anti-tank missile systems and so on." He added that from Moscow's point of view, the US administration has failed to take these warnings seriously.

Weeks prior the lead-up to Russia's Feb.24 invasion of Ukraine, the US Embassy in Kiev had tweeted photographs anytime a major arms shipment arrived. The US authorized Baltic allies in the transfer of Javelin anti-tanks missiles to supply Ukrainian forces; at the same time, the UK had sent many rounds of transport plane-loads of munitions and weapons systems.

It's also believed that supplies Stinger anti-aircraft missiles are being ramped up. The fresh Russian warning also comes following the US-Poland MiG-29 fiasco. Warsaw had prematurely offered to give all off its MiGs to the US so that they could be flown into Ukraine from Ramstein Air Force Base in Germany.

The Biden admin said the offer was a "surprise" while the Pentagon flat-out rejected the plan, saying that the risk would be too high of bringing NATO into direct conflict with Russian forces, given that the planes would have to enter Ukraine from the West, risking an aerial engagement incident.

US to send $200 million in military aid to Ukraine

Washington says the “unprecedented” move will help to fight off the Russian attack

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken authorized $200 million for additional military aid to Kiev on Saturday amid the ongoing Russian military campaign in the country.

“This package will include further defensive assistance to help Ukraine meet the armored, airborne, and other threats it is facing,” Blinken said in a statement.

He added that the “unprecedented” move brings the total amount of US military aid to Ukraine to more than $1.2 billion since January 2021.

Individual Western countries have supplied Ukraine with anti-tank weapons, air defense missile systems, machine guns, body armor and other equipment since the start of the Russian attack on February 24. They failed, however, to reach an agreement to send Soviet-era jet fighters to Ukraine, while NATO rejected Kiev’s repeated pleas to establish a no-fly zone over the country, fearing an armed conflict with Moscow.

Poland said it was ready to donate its entire fleet of MiG-29 jets in exchange for US-made planes with “corresponding operational capabilities.” The Pentagon officially rejected the plan on Wednesday.

Russia has insisted that it attacked its neighbor in order to defend the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics, which broke away from Ukraine shortly after the 2014 coup in Kiev. Moscow also said it wanted to force Ukraine into declaring itself a neutral country that will never join NATO.

Ukraine said that the attack was entirely unjustified and denied claims that it was planning to retake the rebellious republics by force.

Ukraine gasbag blows more hot air, then walks statements back

Secretary Aleksey Danilov of the Ukrainian National Security asserted: “Today, the head of NATO, Mr. Stoltenberg has made a statement: if a single projectile, a single bullet hits a convoy that is delivering arms to Ukraine, NATO will consider it a trigger for Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty”—an assertion quickly followed by it being reported: “Neither NATO nor Stoltenberg personally have made any public statements on Sunday confirming or denying Danilov’s assertion”

Kiev claims NATO will defend arms convoys to Ukraine against Russia

A Russian attack on Western arms convoys to Ukraine will allegedly trigger Article 5 of NATO Treaty, Kiev has claimed

Kiev claims NATO will defend arms convoys to Ukraine against Russia

If Russian forces launch an attack on a Western convoy delivering arms to Ukraine, NATO will consider this a reason to invoke Article 5 of the military bloc's treaty, which assures its members’ collective self-defense, Aleksey Danilov, the secretary of Ukraine’s National Security and Defense Council, claimed on Sunday, citing NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg.

“Today, the head of NATO… Mr. Stoltenberg has made a statement: if a single projectile, a single bullet hits a convoy that … [is delivering arms] to Ukraine, [NATO] will consider it a trigger for Article 5 [of the North Atlantic Treaty],” Danilov said while on air on Rada, the Ukrainian parliament's TV Channel.

Neither NATO nor Stoltenberg personally has made any public statements on Sunday confirming or denying Danilov’s assertion. The Ukrainian official’s statement comes a day after Russia’s Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov warned that Russia would consider arms convoys heading for Ukraine to be “legitimate targets” for Russian forces. Ryabkov has not elaborated on whether the convoys could be targeted on Ukrainian territory or elsewhere.

Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty says that “an armed attack against one or more” NATO members “in Europe or North America” shall be considered an attack on NATO as a whole and will warrant a response from each of the bloc’s members, “including the use of armed force.”

Previously, Stoltenberg has confirmed that “any attack against any NATO country, NATO territory … will trigger Article 5” after visiting a Latvian military base together with Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the leaders of Spain and Latvia on March 8.

On March 9, he also said that the military bloc “decided to make clear that a cyberattack can trigger Article 5.” Stoltenberg has added, though, that NATO “will never give the privilege to a potential adversary to tell exactly where that threshold is.”

Earlier, and despite insistence from Kiev, the bloc rejected the idea of enforcing a no-fly zone over Ukraine, pointing to the fact that it would lead to a direct military confrontation between NATO and Russia.

On February 24, Russian President Vladimir Putin warned any outside forces that might be “tempted to meddle” in what Moscow calls an “operation” in Ukraine that Russia’s response to such actions would be “immediate” and would have consequences “never seen in history.” Four days later, Russia put its nuclear forces on high combat alert.

Moscow has launched its large-scale “operation” with the argument that it’s aimed at “demilitarizing” Ukraine in the name of protecting the people of the two Donbass republics Russia had earlier recognized. Kiev has blasted the move as a totally unprovoked act of aggression and said it had never planned to attack the two republics in the first place.
