Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov has warned that Western convoys delivering arms to Ukraine could be seen as &quot;legitimate targets&quot; for the Russian Armed Forces.</p>
<p>
&quot;We have warned the US that pumping weapons into Ukraine, which they have orchestrated, from a number of countries, is not just a dangerous move – it is a move that turns these convoys into legitimate targets,&quot; Mr Ryabkov said during an appearance on state TV.</p>
<p>
He said the transfer to Ukraine of weapons such as air-defence systems and anti-tank missiles was &quot;reckless&quot; and that the US needed to take Russia&#39;s warnings seriously.</p>
<p>
He also denounced US sanctions against Moscow as an &ldquo;unprecedented attempt to deal a serious blow to various sectors of the Russian economy,&rdquo; adding Moscow will act in a measured way to avoid hurting itself.</p>
<p>
Mr Ryabkov said Russia has no intention to expel Western media and businesses amid the soaring tensions with the West, claiming: &ldquo;We aren&rsquo;t going to escalate the situation&rdquo;.</p>
<p>
The UK, US and other Western countries have pumped in&nbsp; large consignments of arms and ammunition to Ukraine since the war broke out to bolster its defences.</p>
<p>
Some of the arms sent include nearly 20,000 anti-tank missiles and hundreds of anti-aircraft weapons.</p>
<p>
According to media reports RAF and US Air Force cargo planes have delivered military aid to Poland and other locations on Nato&rsquo;s eastern flank. After they&rsquo;ve been delivered close to the border they are transferred to Ukraine by road.</p>
<p>
Germany has sent 1,000 anti-tank weapons and 500 Stinger surface-to-air missiles to Ukraine.</p>
<p>
Finland has sent 2,500 assault rifles, 150,000 bullets and 1,500 anti-tank weapons.</p>
<p>
Meanwhile, Sweden is supplying 5 000 anti-tank missiles, while Denmark is providing 2,700 of the same weapons.</p>
<p>
Norway is donating up to 2,000 M72 anti-tank weapons and Spain said it would send 1,370 anti-tank grenade launchers, 700,000 rifles and machine-gun rounds.</p>
<p>
France has also declared it intends to send defensive weapons to Ukraine but as yet has not revealed what they are.</p>
