Response for US involvement in Ukrainian attack on Kursk Region to be harsher — MFA

The consequences for the United States over Washington's involvement in the Ukrainian attack on Russia’s Kursk Region will be much harsher than before, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov told reporters.

"The impression is that our colleagues [in Washington] have discarded the remnants of common sense and believe that they can do anything. Their clients in Kiev have a similar approach. The consequences [for the United States] could be much harsher than those they are already experiencing, they know where and in what areas we are reacting in practical terms," the senior diplomat pointed out.

The deputy minister emphasized that "practical consequences of what is not an accusation but an obvious fact are observed." "And our American colleagues know what we are talking about," he added.

"I would like to say that Washington's escalation course is becoming more and more defiant," Ryabkov underscored.
