MOSCOW, July 14. /TASS/. The damage that the military adventures of the United States and NATO allies caused in the past decades is estimated at trillions of dollars, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on Thursday.
“The Russian Foreign Ministry prepared a report containing visualized information about the consequences of the military adventures of the US and its European allies in the past couple of decades. It is available on the Russian Foreign Ministry’s website. The report, which cites reputable sources, provides data on the damage that Washington did to Yugoslavia, Iraq, Libya and Syria,” Zakharova wrote on Telegram.
“Without claiming to calculate all the damage caused, even rough estimates have it at trillions of dollars,” she stressed.
As for Syria, the report indicated that “the bombing of the US and NATO led to the complete destruction of the city of Raqqa, destroying 11,000 buildings and making 80 percent of the city uninhabitable.
The report stressed that the Americans, despite the brutal destruction they have inflicted, continue to deny aid and by every possible means prevent the organization of such action at the international level.”
It concluded that “in the past 20 years alone, the victims of attacks by Western countries have incurred material damages worth no less than 1.5 trillion US dollars.”
The report pointed out that “Washington and its allies have not yet found the courage to take responsibility for their criminal actions and compensate the world for everything they did.”
