Russia has sent a formal diplomatic note to the Biden administration warning the U.S. against further arming Ukraine, two officials tell CBS News.

Secretary of State Antony Blinken has previously described the strategy as part of a plan to increase Kyiv's leverage at the negotiating table, in an effort to eventually find a negotiated end to the conflict. The Washington Post first reported the diplomatic note from Russia to the U.S., and quoted Russian officials as saying the weapons shipments could bring "unpredictable consequences.
The note comes as President Biden approved this week an expansion of the type of military assistance that the U.S. provides to Ukraine, includingincluding artillery such as medium-range howitzers that can prove useful in this next phase of the conflict in eastern Ukraine. "We won't confirm any private diplomatic correspondence," the State Department said in a statement to CBS News. "What we can confirm is that, along with allies and partners, we are providing Ukraine with billions of dollars worth of security assistance, which our Ukrainian partners are using to extraordinary effect to defend their country against Russia's unprovoked aggression and horrific acts of violence.
