Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Grushko warned that Western countries face ‘colossal risks’ if they provide F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine.

Grushko’s statement came in response to a question about the potential consequences of supplying the jets, which Ukraine has requested from NATO nations.

He emphasized that Russia would consider these developments in their plans and possessed the necessary resources to achieve their goals.
