Anatoly Antonov
TASS Responding to a question from the press on Wednesday, Russian ambassador to the United States Anatoly Antonov said that by supplying arms to Ukraine, the United States was prolonging the bloodshed and provoking a third world war. “It’s amazing how Americans waste money on their Ukrainian customers,” he said. Antonov was quoted by the embassy’s press service as saying, “The Pentagon can afford to ‘overestimate’ the cost of the military equipment being shipped to Kiev, misestimating it at several billion dollars.”
“While unprecedented funds are being made available to buy arms for the Kiev regime, the poorest countries in Africa, Latin America and Asia are left unattended. There are places on the planet where people are starving. At the same time, the United States “considers it more urgent to prolong the bloodshed and provoke World War III by actually involving the West in the conflict,” the diplomat noted.
US State Department Deputy Spokesman Vedant Patel, when asked earlier about the risk of escalation in the conflict over Western supplies of equipment to Ukraine and Washington’s approval of F16 deliveries, admitted that the Western strategy of providing military aid to Kiev perform, be purposeful in increasing arms supplies to the Ukrainian army.
Earlier, in an interview with RT, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov commented on Western arms supplies to Ukraine, saying that the special military operation started with Donbass security in mind, but has now turned into a virtual war against the West.
