Russia Warns Of Direct Conflict With US, Which It Says Is Provoking It - Russian Ambassador to the U.S. Anatoly Antonov has warned that the West giving Ukraine weapons and ammunition may lead to direct military confrontation between Russia and the United States and claimed that the invasion was a result of Ukraine carrying out genocide of Russians.

Antonov told Newsweek, "The special operation in Ukraine is the result of the unwillingness of the Kiev regime to stop the genocide of Russians by fulfilling its obligations under the international commitments".

"The desire of the NATO member states to use the territory of a neighboring state to establish a foothold in the struggle against Russia is also obvious" he continued.

Antonov said that in Russia's eyes the war on Ukraine that started on February 24th was actually instigated 8 years prior, when the Euromaidan uprising toppled the Ukrainian government, which at the time had close ties with Russia.

According to Antonov, the uprising put a pro-Western administration in its place which sought close ties with NATO and the European Union, rather than with Russia.

In Russia's eyes, this was a "bloody coup d'état instigated by the West" in which "ultranationalist ideas came to power in Kiev", he stated.

Then, Antonov said that the removal of the Russian as the national language in Ukraine, and other policies that he said Moscow views as hostile were implemented.

He said that Russia seized Crimea with the goal of protecting the ethnic Russian majority in the region, at which time pro-Russian separatists rose up, which lead to 14,000 deaths which included civilians that each side blamed the other for.

He then accused NATO of carrying out a military exploration of Ukraine, and Ukraine of having plans of acquiring nuclear weapons. Both Ukraine and the head of the UN atomic agency IAEA has denied these allegations.

"The NATO member countries have commenced a military exploration of Ukraine It was flooded with Western weaponry while President Vladimir Zelensky announced Kiev's plans to acquire nuclear weapons which would threaten not only neighboring countries, but also the entire world", he stated.

Antonov also told Newsweek that he rejected claims by Ukraine that Russia had killed civilians in places such as Bucha where civilians were reportedly executed, some with their hands tied behind their backs, and instead claimed that Ukraine had faked the entire massacre.

"The Russian Federation is taking the necessary measures to preserve life and safety of civilians. We do everything to maintain the normal functioning of critical infrastructure facilities, to ensure law and order and the security of people. The strikes are made only on military targets and exclusively with high-precision weapons" he said.

Another strike that recently hit the Kramatorsk train station full of Ukrainian civilians attempting to flee, killed at least 57 civilians. The missile had the words "For Children" written on it in Russian.

While Ukraine accuses Russia of carrying out this attack, Russia in return accused Ukraine of carrying out the attack.

Meanwhile, Washington has supported Ukraine's assessment of the attack on the Kramatorsk train station and promised to send more military aid to Ukraine.

Antonov, however warned that such aid could lead to a direct conflict between the United States and Russia.

He stated, "The NATO member countries have commenced a military exploration of Ukraine It was flooded with Western weaponry while President Vladimir Zelensky announced Kyiv's plans to acquire nuclear weapons which would threaten not only neighboring countries, but also the entire world", he stated.

Antonov, however warned that such aid could lead to a direct conflict between the United States and Russia. "Western states are directly involved in the current events as they continue to pump Ukraine with weapons and ammunitions, thereby inciting further bloodshed" he stated.

"We warn that such actions are dangerous and provocative as they are directed against our state. They can lead the U.S. and the Russian Federation onto the path of direct military confrontation. Any supply of weapons and military equipment from the West, performed by transport convoys through the territory of Ukraine, is a legitimate military target for our Armed Forces".

Mexican Gangs Have Begun Using IEDs On Roads To Disable Army Vehicles - Mexican gangs are no longer merely using drones to drop bombs onto opposing cartels, but have upgraded their tactics to include laying improvised explosive devices (IEDs) on the roads to disable army vehicles.

This new tactic is especially dangerous for non combatants who may accidentally come upon the mines, especially children unaware that there may be an improvised explosive device hidden in various places on the ground.

In the town of Tepalcatepec, the self defense movement which is fighting the Jalisco cartel said that improvised land mines heavily damaged an army vehicle last week and showed photos of the army's armored vehicle and the damages that it had taken from what they claimed was a land mine.

The spokesman for the group said that the army vehicle came upon the land mine on Saturday in the town of Taixtan, which is near Tepalcatepec, a location where gun battles have been recently taken place with the Jalisco cartel. It's the first time such a device has been used by the cartel, though they have been using drones to drop bombs on rivals for some time now.

Provda Claims Russian Nuclear Submarines Stationed Off US Coasts - Russian state propaganda machine and Kremlin mouthpiece Provda news claims that Russian nuclear submarines are currently on duty off the U.S. coasts, citing two 'unconfirmed' reports which included one submarine located near the east coast of the United States and one off the west coast, and also another 'presumably' in the Arctic.

Pravda says that the Russian submarines on active duty off the coasts of the United States 'can respond to to any act of aggression immediately' and then cited the Sina Military publication saying "The Russian submarines can presumably be located off both the western and the eastern coasts of the United States. Given their stealthiness, the Pentagon may not even be aware of their whereabouts. It is more than likely that another Russian submarine is staying in the Arctic, deep under the ice".

Pravda stated that it is 'impossible to either confirm or deny these reports today' and says that Russian nuclear powered submarines loaded with nuclear weapons are indeed on duty both in the Pacific and 'probably' located a thousand kilometers off the US coast, citing Avia.pro publication reports..

The excessive use of 'probably' and 'unconfirmed' and 'presumably' indicates that this is either attempts by Russia to spread misinformation, or possibly leaking out legitimate information on purpose to fulfill an agenda, such as convey a thinly veiled threat to the United States.

If there are in fact Russian nuclear submarines off the coast, the United States military most certainly knows not only that they are there, but also their precise locations at any given time and silently watching their movements.

"Right now, there's commercial air traffic that is going to be capable now, and there's no way to guarantee the safety for them if this escalates" he said.

Zeldin also addressed issues on the Southern Border, saying that there are many people who are currently focused on the situation in Ukraine and their border and who aren't focused on the southern border of the United States.
