The decision of the United States to train the Ukrainian military in the use of the Patriot missile system seems to confirm "Washington's actual participation" in the war in Ukraine. 

About this 

said on Tuesday, January 11, Russian Ambassador to Washington Anatoly Antonov, writes CNN.

"The decision of the US Department of Defense to organize exercises at Fort Sill in Oklahoma is another confirmation of Washington's actual participation in the Ukrainian conflict on the side of Nazi criminals from Kyiv," Antonov accused America.  

The Russian ambassador cited an article by the Washington Post, where columnists of the publication allegedly note that "

the training of the Ukrainian military in the United States means strengthening the participation of the United States in the confrontation." 

"The real goal of the administration is to do as much damage as possible to Russia on the battlefield, using Ukrainians as proxies," Antonov complains.
