Russia's top envoy to the United States has ended his term, leaving behind an ominous forecast about the risk of deteriorating bilateral ties escalating into a nuclear-armed clash over the ongoing war in Ukraine in an exclusive interview with Newsweek.
The Kremlin announced on Thursday that Russian Ambassador Anatoly Antonov had been officially relieved of his duty after seven years of service. In the lead-up to his departure, Antonov spoke with Newsweek about the troubled state of relations between Moscow and Washington, which show no signs of improving as the war in Ukraine continues and NATO doubles down on military support for Kyiv amid recent advances by the Russian military.
'"Project Ukraine' is dragging American politicians only further into an abyss, from which it is increasingly difficult to get out," Antonov told Newsweek. "As we see, the administration can only respond to the victories of Russian troops in Donbas and the failure of the provocation by the Ukrainian armed forces in the Kursk region by using the same hackneyed theses about 'support as long as we can.'"
"There are zero signals to clients about the need to think over their position and sit down at the negotiating table," he added. "Neither are there any hints about stopping the senseless flow of weapons at the expense of the local taxpayer."
Commentary:
It’s classical Russian Bolshevism fear mongering. Much like Democrats. Only the willfully blind and terminally stupid are bothered by such Kremlin gaslighting nonsense.
Not a good idea to back down when Russia or anyone else threatens the use of nukes.
Something tat Joey B and Kamala are prone to do...
