“This is a dangerous and short-sighted policy that puts the United States and Russia on the brink of direct confrontation,” said Zakharova, whose comment was posted on the Foreign Ministry website.
The diplomat recalled that Washington’s policy is based on its desire to maintain its own hegemony in the world. In addition, he pointed out that after the US failure in Afghanistan, the White House decided to focus its attention on Ukraine, providing it with various aids.
In this regard, Russia calls on its American colleagues to abandon the escalation. According to Zakharova, Moscow would like Washington to listen to these calls. “Although there is still no reason for optimism,” she concluded.
