The Russian ambassador to the UK has warned of an escalation of the conflict in Ukraine, as Western allies promise Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky more weapons to help him in the conflict.
Andrei Kelin, interviewed by the BBC on Saturday, said that the actions of NATO member countries, “especially from the UK“, risked prolonging the conflict and triggering a “new dimension“in the war.
The diplomat argued that Russia has “huge resources“and, although the war had been raging for a year, assured that his country had not yet”really acted seriously” in the matter.
Mr Kellin said: “Russia is 16 times larger than Ukraine. We have enormous resources. Sooner or later, of course, this escalation might enter a new dimension that we neither need nor want. We can make peace tomorrow“.
Asked regarding the mounting evidence of war crimes perpetrated by Russia, the ambassador assured that Ukraine was the one responsible for war crimes. He then claimed that the United Nations had no power to investigate war crimes.
