On Sunday, US House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries said in an interview with CBS that "there's a significant likelihood" that America will have to send its troops to the conflict zone if Ukraine falls. He claimed that the US must continue supporting Kiev to "prevent a broader war."

"Calls to increase the supply of weapons and ammunition [to Ukraine] only bolster the hateful policy of the [American] elite toward our country. It will not help turn the tide on the battlefield in their favor. Even if some crazy person decides to send their troops to our land," Antonov told reporters.
