"Zaporizhzhia, Ukraine — Russia's Foreign Minister said Tuesday that if the U.S. and Ukraine's other Western allies continue to arm the country as it battles Moscow's invading forces, the risk of the war escalating into a nuclear conflict "should notbe underestimated." In an interview with Russian TV, Sergey Lavrov said that by providing weapons, NATO nations were "pouring oil on the fire" and risking "World War III."
He said the ongoing arms shipments to Ukraine meant NATO was "in essence engaged in war with Russia" already."
Should U.S. and Ukraine's other Western allies heed Russia's warning?
If not, why not?
