Russian Ambassador: US continues to finance Kiev's terrorist plans
(Baonghean.vn)- Russian Ambassador to the US Anatoly Antonov on July 26 accused the US government of continuing to fund the terrorist plans of the Ukrainian government, criticizing that sending military aid would only cause more casualties and suffering.
"The actions of Washington, which continues to pump weapons into the hands of Ukrainian puppets, go beyond morality and common sense. The United States seeks to present itself as a selfless benefactor of Ukraine. It hypocritically speaks of 'helping' the Ukrainian republic. It manipulates public opinion, concealing the true goals of its policy," the Russian diplomat stressed.
Commenting on the US plans to provide another $ 400 million military aid package to Kiev, Antonov continued: "The only thing the US is striving for is more deaths and suffering. One can be sure that missiles and ammunition, paid for with billions of dollars from the pockets of US taxpayers, will destroy cities, fields littered with unexploded ammunition." "Having set foot on the path of war, Washington cannot stop. Instead of soberly assessing what is happening, local strategists are financing the terrorist plans of Kiev criminals. For example, to continue attacks on the Crimean bridge, which is not a military facility, because it has not been used to supply the Russian Armed Forces for a long time," he added. "How many more American Bradleys have to burn before the US leadership finally realizes that attempts to defeat our country "on the battlefield" will lead to only one thing - the humiliating defeat of the Russophobics?"
The US administration previously announced that it would provide Ukraine with a new $400 million military assistance package. It will include additional ammunition for Patriot air defense systems, the National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile System (NASAMS) and the High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS), as well as 32 Stryker armored personnel carriers, tube-launched, optically tracked, wire-guided (TOW) missiles, Javelin missiles and other anti-armor systems, Hydra-70 aircraft missiles, Hornet unmanned aerial systems and more than 28 million rounds of small arms ammunition and grenades./.
