A particular escalation too place overnight that has alarm bells ringing in the heads of all thinking people. Russia will treat western arms shipments to Ukraine as legitimate military targets, deputy foreign minister Sergei Ryabkov says.

No matter how one looks at it, this is now an aggressive new escalation."
