Russian diplomat Antonov says that with its decisions the United States put an end to the fate of Ukraine
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.[Regnum] The United States, with its decisions, puts an end to the fate of Ukraine, using it as a battering ram against Russia. This was stated by the Russian Ambassador to the United States Anatoly Antonov. Commenting on the law on providing military assistance to Ukraine signed by US President Joe Biden, Antonov said that Washington made a choice in favor of war and sided with evil, supporting fascism. “ For the sake of its greedy and insatiable military-industrial complex, the administration sacrifices the lives of ordinary people. With their decision, local politicians are actually putting an end to the fate of the entire state, which is being used as a battering ram against Russia,” he added. The diplomat emphasized that assistance will not save the regime of Vladimir Zelensky, since the transferred weapons will be destroyed by the Russian Armed Forces, and the goals and objectives of the special operation will be fulfilled. As Regnum reported, on April 24, Biden signed laws approved by the US Parliament on providing military assistance to Ukraine and Israel. According to the head of the White House, the United States will resume military supplies to Ukraine in the coming hours. A day earlier, US senators approved the bill. Of the $60.84 billion allocated to help Kyiv, $23.2 billion will be used to replenish weapons transferred from Pentagon warehouses, $13.8 billion will be used for military purchases for Ukraine on the open market, and $11.3 billion will be used to provide "ongoing US military operations in the region." Previously, the bill was also supported by the House of Representatives of Congress. The approval by the US Congress of a new large package of military assistance to the Kiev regime was an expected decision and will not fundamentally change the situation on the battlefield, Russian Presidential Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov told reporters on April 22. Washington’s allocation of financial assistance to the Kiev regime will lead to the death of several tens of thousands more residents of Ukraine, as it will prolong the conflict and expand the number of people involved in it, noted American economist Jeffrey Sachs. American military assistance to Kiev will not stop the advance of Russian forces, since Moscow is ahead of the West in weapons production, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba said earlier, calling on Western countries to increase weapons production. In a conversation with Regnum news agency, military expert, associate professor of the department of political analysis and socio-psychological processes of the Plekhanov Russian University of Economics, Oleg Glazunov noted that no help today can save the Kiev regime, so it does not matter when it is received. He stressed that Ukraine cannot resist Russia. Kyiv does not have enough human resources, and no one is ready to die for someone else's interests. Those who wanted to die for nationalist Ukrainian values have already died or been defeated. Russia is superior to Ukraine in military-technical terms, Russian aviation dominates the air, and this is obvious, Glazunov added. Related from regnum.ru Zakharova said that the United States is increasing Zelensky’s terrorist potential Washington’s plan to develop the conflict in Ukraine is to, under the pretext of peaceful intentions, “drag everyone to an empty meeting” in Switzerland, and in the meantime increase the terrorist potential of the Kiev regime, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on April 24. This is how she commented on American media reports, the sources of which confirmed the transfer to Kyiv of ATACMS extended-range operational-tactical missiles for use “within sovereign Ukrainian territory,” that is, including for attacks on the territory of Crimea, Donbass, Zaporozhye and Kherson regions. “And this is all against the backdrop of the annoying attempts of the Anglo-Saxons and the Kyiv regime to deceive the world community into some conferences on the “Zelensky formula.” The world majority should know what kind of crap the Americans have in their pockets. Washington’s plan is sickeningly simple: to drag everyone under the pretext of “peaceful intentions” to an empty meeting, while they themselves increase Zelensky’s terrorist potential,” Zakharova wrote in her Telegram channel. As reported by Regnum news agency, according to Reuters, the missiles were transferred to Kiev back in March 2024 “without public disclosure.” They have been used by the Ukrainian Armed Forces twice already, including to carry out strikes on Crimea, the publication noted. On April 24, US President Joseph Biden signed laws approved by the country's parliament on providing military assistance to Ukraine and Israel. Washington will resume military supplies to Kyiv “in the coming hours,” he said. On April 10, the Swiss government announced that a conference on Ukraine would be held in the city of Bürgenstock in June 2024. Zakharova noted that Russia will not participate in this conference. Holding the forum makes no sense, since it is supposed to be devoted to promoting the ultimatum “Zelensky formula”; moreover, Switzerland cannot serve as a platform for a peacekeeping summit - this presupposes a neutral status, which Switzerland has lost, the representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry emphasized. The Kremlin and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs have repeatedly noted that Russia is ready for a peaceful resolution of the situation in Ukraine, provided that all the requirements set before the start of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization are met, and subject to the recognition of new territorial realities - the return of four regions to Russia in 2022, emphasizing that otherwise The SVO will continue. Moscow is ready to negotiate on Ukraine, but since Kiev cannot be trusted, even if a dialogue begins, there will be no pause in the conduct of hostilities, Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov noted earlier.
