Russian Ambassador to the United States Anatoly Antonov commented on the latest high-profile statements from Washington.
Anatoly Antonov, in his article for the magazine, writes that US officials continue to escalate the situation on nuclear issues, reports RIA News”.
“They are intimidating their own and the world community with “imaginary nuclear threats” from Russia,” the ambassador added.
He believes that such rhetoric distorts the meaning of what the Russian authorities said.
The ambassador is also of the opinion that the American side is pushing the situation towards “a clash of major nuclear powers, fraught with unpredictable consequences.”
Previously This month, Russian President Vladimir Putin delivered an address addressing the situation in Donbas and other important aspects of the current situation.
“The citizens of Russia can be sure that the territorial integrity of our Motherland, our independence and freedom will be ensured, I emphasize this again, with all the means at our disposal. And those who are trying to blackmail us with nuclear weapons should know that the wind rose can also turn in their direction, ”he also said.
UN Secretary General António Guterres thinksthat the idea that any state can win a nuclear war is crazy.
“Any use of nuclear weapons will lead to humanitarian Armageddon. We need to take a step back,” he added.
