US obsessed with idea of dealing strategic blow to Russia, says envoy
The #US has been causing the geography of the #Ukrainian crisis to expand & it turns a blind eye to the corrupt #Kiev regime, Russian Ambassador to the US Anatoly Antonov said. sana.sy/en/?p=304230
Commenting on a new $350 million package of #US military aid for #Ukraine, he said, “#Washington is obsessed with the idea of inflicting a strategic defeat on our country. With its steps, the [US] administration is only pushing the Ukrainian radicals toward new terrible deeds,”
According to the #Russian envoy, “with each delivery of military equipment, the [#Ukrainian President Vladimir] #Zelensky regime feels more & more impunity. It continues to kill civilians in the #Donbass, #Zaporozhye & #Kherson regions of #Russia with pure cynicism,”
“The #US does not think that by such actions they are adding fuel and provoking the expansion of the geography of the #Ukrainian crisis. This policy jeopardizes the security of all of #Europe, increasing the risk of a direct clash between #Russia and #NATO,” Antonov warned.
"#Washington turns a blind eye to the corruption of the #Ukrainian elite. We have serious concerns that some of the defense products may end up on the black market,” he added. sana.sy/en/?p=304230
“Where will weapons pop up? Who will bear responsibility when it falls into the hands of some terrorist groups and criminal organizations?” he asked rhetorically. sana.sy/en/?p=304230
