Washington - CNN TV Channel has reported, referring to Pentagon spokesperson Colonel Steve Warren, Russia is preparing the transfer of more powerful weaponry into Ukraine, and it could happen at any time.
The transfer could be “imminent,” the spokesman said on Friday, July 25. It’s believed the weaponry will be driven into Ukraine “potentially today,” he said.
Warren did not disclose what type of weaponry could be sent to the illegal armed groups in Ukraine.
State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf also warned of the possibility Thursday, telling reporters, “We have new evidence that the Russians intend to deliver heavier and more powerful multiple rocket launchers to the separatist forces in Ukraine and have evidence that Russia is firing artillery from within Russia to attack Ukrainian military positions.”
Everything Russia is doing, Warren said, is “unquestionably an escalation.”
