The US and NATO should stop supplying weapons to Kyiv if they really want to resolve the Ukrainian crisis, said Sergey Lavrov, Russian Foreign Minister, APA reports citing Ria Novosti.

“If the United States and NATO are really interested in resolving the Ukrainian crisis, then, firstly, they should change their minds and stop supplying weapons and ammunition to Kyiv,” Lavrov said.

The Ukrainian people do not need Stinger man-portable air defense systems and Javelin anti-tank missiles, but urgent humanitarian issues, he noted.

“Secondly, it is necessary that Kyiv stop cynical provocations, including in the information space,” Lavrov noted.

He noted that the Ukrainian armed forces, using civilians as a "human shield", carry out "barbaric shelling of cities", and also "with animal cruelty" mock the Russian military, who are being held by them, publishing this on the Internet.
