The West's supply of weapons and instructors to Ukraine has led Russia to conclude that the United States and Great Britain appear to be aware of "certain" planned force actions that could complicate the situation, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said, RIA Novosti reported.

"Given the considerable influence that Washington and London have on Kiev, and in general their role in managing the process in Ukraine, which is worth providing only with 'independent' weapons and instructors, we conclude that, apparently, our American and British colleagues know that some force actions are being prepared in Ukraine—and which could considerably complicate the security situation," Zakharova said in a commentary on the Russian Foreign Ministry's website.
