🎙 Russia's Ambassador to the US Anatoly Antonov's interview with TASS news agency
#Ukraine
❗️ We tried to get the White House and the Department of State to understand that all US systems, primarily the Patriot ones, would become legitimate targets for our military.
What if Americans get killed? What if they are among the crews? How would Washington react? What is that if not proof of the administration’s direct involvement in the current conflict?
Our diplomats in the US seek to use every chance to clarify Russia’s position. We emphasize the high risk of a clash between the two great powers.
#STARTTreaty
☝️ The problem of convening the Bilateral Consultative Commission cannot be isolated from the general condition of Russian-US relations.
A war is on against us. The enemy’s aim is Russia’s strategic defeat. How can we be expected in a situation like this to let the Americans visit Russia’s military bases were nuclear deterrence forces are deployed?
#Africa
❌ One of Washington’s aims in Africa is to counter our country’s greater influence on the continent, as follows from the US strategy for sub-Saharan Africa. The US administration adhered to the same course at the US-Africa summit.
It is the previous, essentially neo-colonial policy, cloaked in the garb of friendship.
#RussiaUS
🇷🇺🇺🇸 Contacts with the US administration officials are rare.
Washington shows no signs that it is ready to look for diplomatic solutions for the sake of normalizing bilateral relations.
