An the UN Security Council, Russia warned the United States and Canada about the possible consequences of supplying lethal weapons to Ukraine, TASS news agency reports.

Ilyichev reminded that Canada declared its readiness to issue licenses to companies for arms deliveries to Ukraine, and American firms, in particular the manufacturer of hand grenade launchers Airtronic USA, "are already supplying weapons to Kyiv, receiving unofficial permission from both the State Department and the Pentagon."
