Russia has been lobbing artillery shells into Ukraine and is planning
to give the rebels missiles that are even deadlier than the one that
downed Malaysia Airlines Flight 17, the US State Department said
Thursday.
“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,” said State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf.
The stunning allegations were “just some pieces of info I’ve been able to get from our intelligence friends,” said Harf, who declined to provide details. “I can’t get into the sources and methods behind it.”
Harf’s remarks came after a NATO military official told reporters that the continuing flow of weapons from Russia into Ukraine “is a cause for concern.”
The shipments have also increased “in the last several weeks,” the official added.
