U.S. avoids a serious conversation with Moscow, says Antonov

The visits paid by Russian President Vladimir Putin to North Korea and Vietnam demonstrated the failure of the US policy of dictatorship and sanctions, Russian Ambassador to the United States Anatoly Antonov said.

“Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin’s visit to North Korea and Vietnam has landed the Americans in a puddle. Their policy of dictatorship, their policy of sanctions, has completely failed. It has once again been confirmed that the countries of the Global South are watching with great attention what the Russian Federation is doing, are reaching out to us,” Antonov told reporters.

He went on to say: “The US authorities are “shivering” from Russia’s successes, they are avoiding a serious conversation with Moscow, including a discussion of President Vladimir Putin’s peace initiatives.”

“You see that the [US] administration is shivering from the success that we are demonstrating. Look at what is happening at the Capitol when new laws are being put forward to declare Russia a state sponsor of terrorism. In essence, many officials are simply running from us and don’t want to start a serious conversation, ignoring the proposals that our president put forward regarding, first of all, settlement of the situation in Ukraine,” Antonov told reporters.

He also said he sees no prospects for even a pause in the degradation of Russian-US relations, not to mention their improvement.

“I would like you to understand: I don’t see any prospects, opportunities even for some kind of a pause, not warming, not improvement, but a pause [in deterioration] of Russian-American relations,” Antonov told reporters.

He concluded by saying: “Russia is not evading dialogue with the United States, but does not consider it possible to separate strategic arms control from the general package of issues,”
