JAKARTA - The US and its allies, including NATO, have chosen not to have direct conflict with Russia in the territory of Ukraine. But the allies continue to send weapons so that Ukraine can use it against Vladimir Putin's forces.

Russia is also hot with this situation.

The Russian embassy in Washington warned the US State Department that continued arms shipments to Ukraine from the US and NATO could have "unpredictable consequences," the New York Post reported on Saturday, April 16.

This diplomatic note came at the same time that US President Joe Biden announced an additional $800 million in military aid to Ukraine. That includes heavy weapons, killer drones and Soviet-made Mi-17 helicopters.

In the document, a copy of which was reviewed by the Washington Post, Russia calls on the US and its allies to immediately stop the irresponsible militarization of Ukraine. Russia threatens to have unforeseen consequences for regional and international security.

The Kremlin also accused NATO and the US of violating "strict principles" regarding the transport of weapons to conflict zones, saying there was a threat of "high-precision weapons falling into the hands of radical nationalist, extremist and bandit forces in Ukraine."

Quoted from the BBC, this media also said the SAS, the famous British special forces corps, had been training Ukrainian soldiers in the Kyiv region. A Ukrainian military source told The Times of London.

Officers from two battalions said that there were SAS troops leading training sessions last week and the week before.

A commander said the trainers showed how to use the NLAW, a type of British anti-tank missile.
