Russian Embassy warns of 'unpredictable consequences' if U.S. sends Patriot missiles to Ukraine

  Russia has warned that there would be unpredictable consequences if the United States sends its famed Patriot missiles defence system to Ukraine.   The Biden administration is finalizing plans to send the advanced long-range air defense system to Ukraine to help counter Moscow's attacks, according to US officials.   The defence system will greatly help Ukraine protect its skies against Russian missiles and drones.   However, the Russian Embassy in Washington said in a statement, warned that any shipment of US Patriot missiles to Ukraine could "lead to unpredictable consequences" and threaten global security. "If this is confirmed, we will witness yet another provocative step by the [Biden] administration, which can lead to unpredictable consequences," the Russian Embassy statement said. The embassy added that continued arms deliveries to Ukraine "will only strengthen the Zelensky regime’s sense of impunity and push it to new crimes against civilians"...
