🇷🇺🇺🇸 Ambassador Anatoly Antonov’s answer to a media question

: Dear Ambassador, how would you comment on the new anti-Russian sanctions of the United States?


💬 Anatoly Antonov: The administration is in agony. The fruitless Russophobic "salvos" are multiplying. The goal here is to show the officialdom’s anti-Russian essence against the backdrop of the boiling election campaign.

▪️Economic sanctions are hitting citizens and companies. They are harming not only domestic consumers, but also America's partners in "third" countries. Washington's hypocrisy is surprising: they are not talking about Russia, but about companies in developing nations.

▫️The negative aspects of U.S. actions are obvious to everyone. The administration's reckless steps lead to a crisis, but not to something creative. It is obvious that in order to achieve true independence in the economic sphere, it is high time to abandon the hegemony of the dollar in the international monetary and financial system.

▪️I would like to point out that sanctions against Russia have been so multifaceted that we essentially don’t care what else the administration comes up with to “punish the Russian people.” We will do everything to ensure that our citizens feel at ease and don’t look back at American attacks.

🇷🇺🇺🇸 Ambassador Anatoly Antonov’s answer to a media question

: Dear Ambassador, on August 31, 2017, American authorities took unprecedented measures to seize Russian diplomatic property in Washington and San Francisco. How would you comment on the current position of the US administration regarding the prospects of returning the seized real estate?

💬 A.I.Antonov: We constantly raise the issue of returning our diplomatic property in contacts with representatives of the White House and the State Department at all levels. I emphasize that the American position has not changed. We receive refusals to our numerous diplomatic notes demanding access just to access the condition of the property.

▪️ During meetings local officials do not hide that they have no intentions to discuss this topic. Over the past seven years we have not heard a single legally valid argument justifying Washington's egregious behavior. Vague references to some suspicions of espionage do not provide grounds for violating the principle of property inviolability, provided for by both international law and American legislation.

▫️ It is obvious to us that this is about simple score-settling, a desire to annoy and take revenge on Russia. When the US administration doesn't like someone's foreign policy they start hitting everything they can reach. Without trial, with complete disregard for legal norms and their own postulates.

▪️ We will continue to seek unconditional restoration of our rights to use and dispose of our diplomatic property. We call on the US authorities to come to their senses. We remind you that America has the most extensive network of diplomatic presence in the world. The precedent created by Washington destroys the rules of civilized interstate communication and will inevitably backfire on the United States.

🇷🇺🇺🇸 Ответ Посла России в США А.И.Антонова на вопрос СМИ : Уважаемый Анатолий Иванович как бы Вы прокомментировали итоги поездки в США представителей киевского режима в конце августа? Есть ли новые моменты в том, как администрация реагирует на провокации…
🇷🇺🇺🇸 Ambassador Anatoly Antonov's answer to a media question

: Dear Ambassador, how would you comment on the results of the visit of representatives of the Kiev regime to the USA at the end of August? Are there any new aspects in how the administration is reacting to the provocations of the Armed Forces of Ukraine against Russia?

💬 A.I.Antonov:
The Ukrainians came here for "handouts". They begged for missiles, ammunition and money. They urged officials to toughen policies towards our country. They found full support here. Washington's cynical goal remains the same - to harm the Russian Federation with their weapons which are placed in Ukrainian hands.

Everything is done in secret. We only learn about the reached American-Ukrainian agreements on the war against us post factum (and not every time). I do not exclude that this time representatives of the Kiev regime received additional promises to support military actions against Russia. I am sure that in the future all this will be formalized in the form of yet another "package" of arms supplies to Ukraine.

However, even this is not enough. Now there is talk about expanding the scale of Ukrainian actions on the territory of the Russian Federation. The local press is discussing Kiev's idea of preparing a certain list of targets in our country, which they propose to strike with long-range missiles, delivered from the US.

At the same time, no one here is embarrassed by the data coming from Kursk and Belgorod regions about ever-new losses among Russian citizens, houses, hospitals, bridges, destroyed by direct fire – including with the help of American weapons. Officials ignore the obvious facts of atrocities by neo-Nazis: murders, abuse of prisoners and ordinary local residents.

How much cynicism and "double standards" do Americans have in promoting democratic values?! What wrong was done by the children and teachers in the kindergarten in Belgorod, which was bombed by Ukrainians on September 1?! The kids were denied the right to celebrate the beginning of the school year. Why are they silent here about the destruction of churches?! There was no reaction to the destruction of the temples of the St. Nicholas Monastery.

Washington's idea of pitting Europe against Russia through the Ukrainian crisis will not pass. The US will not be able to sit it out across the ocean if the current situation escalates into a global conflict. No supplies of modern equipment, be it fighters or long-range missiles, not to mention sending mercenaries to our country, will change the situation on the battlefield.

It looks quite comical when an F-16 in the Ukrainian sky is shot down by a US-made Patriot system. Local instructors have not been able to properly train the Armed Forces of Ukraine. I can imagine how they would howl here if there were data that the ill-fated plane was shot down by our soldiers.

The American "Ukraine project" has brought destruction and entailed huge sacrifices of the Slavic people. There is no doubt that Russia will cope with the new challenge to its security and the goals and objectives of the special military operation will be fully implemented. The fate of equipment and weapons coming to Kiev from the USA is obvious – it will be destroyed.

🇷🇺🇺🇸 Ответ Посла России в США А.И.Антонова на вопрос СМИ : Уважаемый Анатолий Иванович, как Вы могли бы прокомментировать введенные Вашингтоном рестрикции против российских СМИ за якобы вмешательство в электоральные процессы в Америке путем проведения «кампании…
🇷🇺🇺🇸 Ambassador Anatoly Antonov's answer to a media question

: Dear Ambassador, how would you comment on the restrictions imposed by Washington against Russian media for alleged interference in electoral processes in America through a "disinformation campaign"?

💬 A.I.Antonov:
The administration has made another attack against the Russian Federation. The Russophobic policy, which is unlikely to change in the future, has been confirmed once again.

The feeling is that the Democrats already want to shift some of the blame for their missteps during the electoral struggle onto Russia. To justify their actions, they resort to lies, strive to discredit Russian media that provide a small "breath" of real truth about true American politics.

⚠️ In essence, officials are giving additional impetus to an aggressive phase of the "witch hunt" against dissent. Recent examples of this reckless course include FBI raids on the residences of American political scientists Dimitri Simes and Scott Ritter, as well as today's searches in the apartments of Russians working in the USA.

The administration is confused. We hear words of reproach about interference in electoral processes and at the same time statements that such actions are not related to the upcoming presidential elections.

The task is clear - to "clean up" the information space from "inconvenient" truth. To thicken the atmosphere of Russophobia, attributing their own failure to an external factor. This time, the media group "Russia Today" and its subsidiaries were chosen as a target.

❗️I emphasize that we have always respected and will respect the choice of the American people, whatever it may be. We have never interfered in the internal affairs of the United States and do not intend to do so in the future. We categorically reject false accusations against Russian information structures and demand the cancellation of imposed administrative restrictions on the work of our journalists in America.

The Russian side has never equated the wise people of the United States with its administration. It is obvious to everyone: local authorities are doing everything not only to "overstrain" the fabric of Russian-American relations, but to completely burn out its foundation. Such a policy poses a danger to the cause of preserving peace and global stability.

🇷🇺🇺🇸 Ambassador Anatoly Antonov's answer to a media question

: Dear Ambassador, how would you comment on the latest series of economic restrictions announced by the US administration?

💬 A.I.Antonov:
It seems clear that for the local authorities "tightening the sanction screws" has become a kind of political sports. The democratic administration practices it, while creating various barriers, with surprising enthusiasm. Moreover, the focus is increasingly shifting from targeting Russia specifically to putting pressure on "third" countries in trying to make everyone dance to their own tune, that is, the dollar.

Recognizing that the measures imposed so far have not been as effective as they would have liked, the Americans are "firing in all directions". They are imposing restrictions on maritime vessels thus limiting the export of high-tech products. A newly coined term in the local sanctions jargon is threats of reprisals against foreign partners for interacting with any of our banks, even those not "blacklisted".

All such steps only strengthen the conviction of the sensible part of the world community that the dollar-centric system has its risks - and not small ones. They fuel interest in alternative economic ties and accelerate the movement towards a multipolar world.

So, Washington will have to award itself a medal in the competition for coveted “sanction victories”.

🇷🇺🇺🇸 Ответ Посла России в США А.И.Антонова на вопрос СМИ : Уважаемый Анатолий Иванович, в последние дни в Вашингтоне все активнее муссируется тема якобы неизбежного разрешения Киеву наносить удары американскими ракетами вглубь российской территории. Как…
🇷🇺🇺🇸 Ambassador Anatoly Antonov's answer to a media question

: Dear Ambassador, in recent days Washington has been increasingly discussing the topic of an allegedly inevitable permission for Kiev to strike deeper into Russian territory with American missiles. How would you comment on such statements?

💬 A.I.Antonov: The United States is steadily driving itself deeper into the quagmire of the Ukrainian conflict. Local politicians repeat like a mantra: "Ukraine must win". They are ready to sacrifice the well-being of US citizens by transferring multibillion-dollar volumes of weapons and ammunition to the Kiev regime. The only demand of Washington curators is to increase military clashes with Russian troops. We continue to be tested for the limit of our tolerance or patience to hostile steps. The overall purpose is the notorious strategic defeat of our country.

❗️ Such plans are unfeasible. Neither F-16s, nor air defense systems or HIMARS, nor other weapons will help. The administration stubbornly ignores Russia's interests. Now they are increasingly talking about the possibility of shelling Russian territory with long-range weapons. Only a few politicians mention the possibility of a Third World War to which local authorities are paving the way.

Washington strategists use provocative slogans about alleged Moscow's plans to take over almost half of the world to justify hostile actions against the Russian Federation. This is outright nonsense. At the same time, provocative pseudo-facts about some supplies from Iran, North Korea or even China are constantly fueling the bonfire of Russophobia.

Warnings from American military and political scientists about Zelensky’s inability to achieve his goals with the help of the notorious ATACMS or even longer-range systems are simply ignored. As in the old days of the Cold War it is claimed that this is all Russian propaganda.

👆It seems that official Washington perfectly understands the situation on the battlefield when every day Russian troops liberate more and more settlements in Donbass. However, politicians are extremely pleased with the death of Slavs on both sides of the line of contact. They openly proclaim a simple task – to preserve the old system of international relations where America used to dominate.

In fact, this idea was confirmed a few days ago in London by representatives of the US and UK intelligence agencies. It is clear that terrorist strikes with hundreds of drones on civilian infrastructure in the suburbs of Moscow will not remain an isolated fact.

⚠️ Kiev is being tasked to intensify attacks against ordinary Russians, our cities and villages. No one is even trying to hide – even at the highest level in the White House – that intelligence data has been and continues to flow from the United States to Kiev.

It is impossible to negotiate with terrorists. They must be wiped out. Hit even harder so that the provocative and pointless in its essence attack on the Kursk region never happens again. No schemes or so-called "peace initiatives" to cease fire in Eastern Europe without taking into account Russia's national interests are possible. Conferences won't help either, no matter how beautifully they are named. As in the years of the Great Patriotic War, fascism must be eradicated. Goals and objectives of the special military operation will be fulfilled. No one should have any doubts that this is exactly how it's going to be.

🇷🇺🇺🇸 Ambassador Anatoly Antonov's answer to a media question

: Dear Ambassador, how would you comment on the new steps of the administration within the framework of the “Ukrainian project”?

💬 A.I.Antonov:
Zelensky's visit to the US is being staged by local authorities as a real Hollywood show. The former actor was given the opportunity to speak from the tribune of the World Organization, then was taken through high-ranking Washington offices. Administration representatives repeated over and over again that "Ukraine must win." They promised the terrorist regime billions from the pockets of American taxpayers, as well as record amounts of weapons and ammunition. At the same time, they announced new sanctions against Russians.

Here they try to keep quiet that the main outcome of such a demonstration of America's "leadership" is a further prolongation of the crisis. Under the applause of local politicians, the blood of soldiers and civilians will continue to flow. Bridges, schools and residential buildings will be blown up. This, apparently, is the essence of Zelensky's notorious "victory plan".

The United States, by providing assistance to Ukrainian Nazis and inciting them to criminal provocations such as the invasion of the Kursk region, has long become a de facto party to the conflict. They seek to distort the truth with statements that Russia does not want peace and has not tried to achieve it. However, it is Washington that needs hatred and combat clashes between fraternal peoples. For one purpose only - the strategic defeat of our country.

We call on American politicians to come to their senses. To understand that the Russian Federation will never back down from the demand to take into account its national interests. As history has proven, missiles and bombs will not break us. Terrorists and fascists will be destroyed, and our land will be liberated.

🇷🇺🇺🇸 Ambassador Anatoly Antonov’s answer to a media question

: Dear Mr. Ambassador, how could you comment on the reaction in the US to the liberation of Ugledar by the Russian Armed Forces?

💬 Anatoly Antonov:
Let me emphasize that the capture of Ugledar is an impressive victory of the Russian spirit and the power of our weapons. Another important step has been taken to move forward the special military operation. Other successes are not far off. Especially since the front is cracking and confidently advancing to the West.

The administration representatives are silent because it is impossible for them to admit the collapse of their idea of Russia's strategic defeat. The liberation of Ugledar is yet another confirmation that the endless supply of weapons to Kiev at the expense of the American taxpayer makes no sense. However, they do not want to settle down.

It is obvious that Washington will continue to push Ukrainians to insane provocations. It is high time to understand that such efforts are futile and only lead to additional numerous victims. In any case, the vaunted American vehicles and installations are ground up, burned, or end up in the hands of our soldiers, as happened with the Bradley IFV during the escape of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and mercenaries from Ugledar. Or with the F-16 fighter, shot down by own air defense forces.

It is obvious to us that the enemy will be defeated and victory will be Russia's. The Western "Ukraine project" is hopeless and only deals a fatal blow to the international security.
