The statement made by Russian President Vladimir Putin about the inadmissibility of a possible U.S. delivery of lethal weapons to Ukraine is evidence of Moscow's readiness to defiantly continue financing and arming of international terrorism, Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine (NSDC) Oleksandr Turchynov has said.

"The president of the Russian Federation allows himself to frighten the U.S. and the international community by the fact that in the territory of Donbas occupied by the Russian troops there are supposedly "enough weapons" left that can be sent to any hot spot in the world "sensitive to those who create problems for them"- that is, the USA," Turchynov said, commenting on the public statement of Putin about the possible supply of U.S. lethal weapons to Ukraine, the NSDC press service reported on Tuesday.

He said that in the territory of Donetsk and Luhansk regions occupied by the Russian Federation, there was no depot complex for storage of military equipment and ammunition of the Armed Forces, "and all military equipment, ammunition and weapons are delivered to the militants exclusively by the Russian Federation."

"That is why the supplies of weapons and equipment that Putin threatens to the United States can only be from Russia," Turchynov said.
