Any decision by the United States to send military advisers and equipment to Ukraine will increase tensions.

Axar.az reports the statement came from Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov.

He expressed serious concern over Ukraine's actions in the Donbas and the possibility of using force.

Peskov stressed that Russia has no plans to invade Ukraine and that Ukraine can ensure its security by returning to the peace plan agreed with Moscow.

Yesterday, CNN reported that Washington was considering sending new military equipment and consultants to Ukraine.
