According to the diplomat, Washington is obsessed with the idea of inflicting a strategic defeat on Russia. With its footsteps, the United States is pushing the Ukrainian radicals to “new terrible acts”. With each new arms supply, the Kiev regime feels increasingly unpunished and continues to kill civilians in the Donbass, Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions of the Russian Federation with particular cynicism.
“The United States does not believe that by adding fuel to the fire it is only causing the geography of the Ukraine crisis to expand,” Antonov said in a statement. published in the Telegram channel.
The Russian ambassador noted that US President Joe Biden turns a blind eye to the corruption of Ukrainian authorities. Meanwhile, Russia is seriously concerned that some of the military goods sent to Kiev may end up on the black market. “Who will be held accountable when weapons fall into the hands of certain terrorist groups and criminal organizations? asked Antonov.
He called on US authorities to refrain from further fueling the conflict in Ukraine and not to allow public statements on the advisability or inadvisability of negotiations. “Ultimately, it’s not for Washington to decide,” concluded the Russian ambassador.
