Vyacheslav Volodin, an ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin, has warned of global catastrophe. Volodin said that the West's deliveries of new offensive weapons to Ukraine will cause mass destruction.&nbsp;

Volodin, the speaker of the Duma — Russia's lower house of parliament, said that such military assistance to &nbsp;Kyiv will threaten Russia's territories.&nbsp;

On the Telegram messaging app, Volodin said that if the United States and NATO nations supply weapons that will be "used to strike civilian cities and attempt to seize our territories", it will lead to "retaliatory measures" using more powerful weapons.&nbsp;

His remarks come after the Ukrainian allies agreed to send massive military assistance for Kyiv's fight against Russian forces during their defence ministers' talks at Ramstein Air Base in Germany last Friday.&nbsp;

Volodin said, "Arguments that the nuclear powers have not previously used weapons of mass destruction in local conflicts are untenable."&nbsp;

"Because these states did not face a situation where there was a threat to the security of their citizens and the territorial integrity of the country," he added.&nbsp;

"Deliveries of offensive weapons to the Kyiv regime will lead to a global catastrophe," he said.&nbsp;

Putin’s ally warns of ‘global catastrophe’ due to the West’s deliveries of new weapons to Ukraine

Disclaimer: A number of claims and counterclaims are being made on the Ukraine-Russia conflict on the ground and online. While WION takes utmost care to accurately report this developing news story, we cannot independently verify the authenticity of all statements, photos and videos. Russia recently said that the advanced and high-precision weapons supplied by the West to Ukraine are spreading across the Middle East, eventually ending up in the black market. Refuting all the claims, Ukraine said that such accusations are Russian propaganda. On Wednesday (July 13), Ukraine also said that the delivery of arms is closely monitored by the authorities. Ukrainian presidential aide Mykhaylo Podolyak said: "All the weapons received by Ukraine, including long-range ones, are carefully accounted (for) and sent to the frontline." "All the other 'rumors' are banal propagandistic throwaways aiming to disrupt supplies," he added in a comment on Twitter.

Weapons for Ukraine — a matter of survival. Its oversight — a priority. All the other "rumors" are banal 🇷🇺 propagandistic throwaways aiming to disrupt supplies... — Михайло Подоляк (@Podolyak_M) July 13, 2022 × On July 5, Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu said in televised remarks that Ukraine had received more than 28,000 tonnes of military cargo so far. He claimed that some Western weapons were appearing in the Middle East. Shoigu had said: "In the hope of prolonging the conflict in Ukraine, the collective West is continuing large-scale arms supplies to the Kyiv regime. According to information at our disposal, some of the foreign weapons supplied by the West to Ukraine are spreading across the Middle Eastern region and are also ending up on the black market." But in the latest development, Ukraine has refuted all the claims as Podolyak even described the supply of weapons by Washington and European allies as "a matter of survival" for Ukraine. He said that the delivery of arms and weapons is monitored on a priority basis by the government.
