04:53Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova asserted that supplying American weapons to Kiev won't resolve the conflict in Ukraine or help US President Donald Trump fulfill his election promises.
"When it comes to their international interests and election promises, then the United States of America and the current administration [of Donald Trump] came to power [02:17] precisely under the slogans of resolving the situation in Ukraine," Zakharova said in Moscow on Saturday.
"It is obvious, and this has already been proven by the current situation and previous years, that militarisation and arms supplies, especially to a terrorist regime, will not lead to any resolution or the fulfilment of the very election promises made by the administration that is currently in power," she stressed.
The diplomat also emphasised the importance of scientific exchanges in maintaining mutually respectful and peaceful co-operation between states.
"Consider how some countries, even though they are a minority, are trying to create chaos - if not aggression, in the literal sense - in the world. From their point of view, this chaos must end in some kind of terrible catastrophe," Zakharova added.
"Now more than ever, it is important now to develop all areas that demonstrate and prove to the international community that there are other ways of living, doing business, interacting, and co-operating," she emphasised.
On September 28, US Vice President JD Vance said Washington was considering the possibility of transferring Tomahawk long-range missiles to Kiev, with the final decision to be made by Donald Trump.
On October 5, Putin warned that the potential delivery of such missiles to Ukraine would negatively affect relations between Moscow and Washington. The next day, Trump said he had 'sort of' made a decision on Tomahawks but wanted to know what Ukraine planned to do with them.
Moscow launched a military offensive in Ukraine in late February 2022 after recognising the independence of the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics (DPR and LPR), claiming that Kiev had failed to guarantee their special status under the 2014 Minsk Agreements, and urging Ukraine to declare itself officially neutral and give assurances that it would never join NATO.
Kiev denounced the Russian action as an invasion. Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky imposed martial law throughout the country, announcing a general mobilisation, while the EU and the US imposed several rounds of sanctions on Moscow.
