Antonov said: "It is particularly noteworthy that Ukraine has been seeking to obtain (US)' Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS)' for months, which can strike targets 300 kilometers away. If Kiev obtains this weapon, Russia's big cities and industrial and transportation infrastructure will become areas that may be destroyed. This situation will mean that the United States is directly involved in a military confrontation with Russia."
Russian ambassador added that Kiev has stated that the U.S. will not hesitate to use long-range missile systems to attack Russian mainland.
report mentioned that the US "" Wall Street Journal reported on Monday that the Ukrainian government requested the US to provide an ATACMS system, and the US Department of Defense was worried that the Ukrainian military might use these equipment to attack Russia and escalate the conflict. On the list of weapons required for future offensive operations listed by Ukraine, it also includes tank , drones, artillery system, anti-ship missile and ammunition for "HIMARS".

Also According to the Russian TV Station (RT) website today, in an interview with Russian News Agency on Wednesday, Antonov said that the US government "publicly boasted" that the victory of the Ukrainian army on the battlefield was achieved with the direct participation of Pentagon , which deserves "deep attention".
Antonov said: "In this context, Washington's statement that the United States is not a party to the conflict sounds very ridiculous and unfounded. The facts and interviews with former and current politicians and military officers have shown that this is not the case." Antonov pointed out that the United States is doing its best to turn Ukraine into a dumping ground for its abandoned weapons, and also becoming a test site for new equipment for NATO , while US defense contractors are insatiable about profits.
RT noted that the Pentagon also acknowledged that since 2014, the United States has provided "more than $17.2 billion in security assistance" to Ukraine and has provided an additional $14.5 billion in assistance since February this year.

Antonov accused the patrons behind Kiev "hungry on power and money" and were not interested in a peaceful solution. The West has hardly discussed negotiations, only about shipping more weapons to Ukraine.
"Their main goal is to defeat Russia at all means and thus prevent Russia from playing a key role in the international stage. If possible, they want to tear Russia to pieces." Antonov said, "They will not stop pushing Ukraine to further suicide adventures, such as the 'attack' that was doomed from the beginning."
