The Ukrainian troops’ strike on civilians in Sevastopol with US ATACMS missiles showed that the United States authorities sided with international terrorism, but they cannot escape responsibility, Russian Ambassador to Washington Anatoly Antonov said.
“The administration defiantly supports the crimes of the Kiev regime. Sides with international terrorism. Condones the strikes of the Banderites on peaceful civilians. There is no justification for the bloody acts of the AFU” – said Anatoly Antonov, his statement published in the Telegram-channel of the Russian diplomatic mission.
He stressed that the crime was committed purposefully at the time of concentration of the maximum number of civilians on the shore of Sevastopol beach.
“The bandits did not even hesitate to kill women and children on a Christian holiday honoured by all. Anger and indignation are caused by Washington’s attempts to silence the terrible crime against Russian citizens. The Americans will not sit behind the ocean and will not escape responsibility for the blood and tears of innocent people,” the ambassador added.
The supply of American weapons to the Ukrainian government, granting them the right to hit the civilian population testify only to the desire of the American authorities to continue the conflict without considering human casualties, he stressed.
“It is obvious to politicians in Washington that cluster munitions in ATASMS missiles cannot be launched without the participation of American specialists and support from US intelligence. It is no coincidence that enemy drones are circling over the Black Sea almost every day,” Antonov pointed out.
According to the diplomat, all this speaks of the demise of the US pseudo-humane foreign policy against the backdrop of the Ukrainian crisis.
“It is becoming almost impossible for Russophobes to justify their direct involvement in the conflict in the post-Soviet space,” the ambassador said.
Antonov expressed confidence that “the Nazis will get a tough answer on the front” and not only on it.
Earlier, the deputy chairman of the Russian Security Council, Dmitriy Medvedev, said that Ukraine had actually become a terrorist state that freely kills its own and other people’s citizens.
