The US is constantly looking for those responsible for an external explanation of its plan of action to withdraw from international agreements, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said during an online conversation with the Moscow Diplomatic Club.
“We see the tactics used by the United States. It consists in the fact that having a clear plan of action is a way out of all agreements that are international in their nature, obliging them to something and equating them with other world partners, the US is constantly looking for those who are not guilty. But they must be an external explanation for such acts. Russia is to blame, Russia and China are to blame”, – the reporters quoted Zakharova as saying.
As an example, the diplomat cited the US unilateral withdrawal from missile defense treaties, the Open Skies Treaty, from the JCPOA with Iran.
Earlier, Zakharova said that the Foreign Ministry did not exclude that the United States is working on an algorithm for withdrawing from the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty. According to her, “the scheme is clear”: first, the US voices accusations against others, and then paves the way for any obvious steps.
