The US administration’s policy to ensure the strategic defeat of Russia is leading the world to a catastrophe, Russian Ambassador to the United States Anatoly Antonov said on Friday.
When asked to comment on media reports that Russia was using dangerous and reckless rhetoric in the nuclear sphere, the diplomat said no one in the country’s political or military leadership "has ever spoken in such a way."
"The only thing we do is to constantly warn Washington that its policy of ensuring strategic defeat for our country on the battlefield is rapidly leading the world to a catastrophic scenario," the embassy’s press service quoted Antonov as saying.
The United States and its allies have unleashed an all-out hybrid warfare against Russia on the Russian territory, Antonov said.
When asked to comment on media reports that Russia was using dangerous and reckless rhetoric in the nuclear sphere, the diplomat denied those claims and said: "The Americans and their allies have unleashed an all-out hybrid war against Russia on our own territory."
"At the same time they are profiting from their NATO partners by forcing them to finance the renaissance of the United States’ military industrial complex. The US defense industry did not see this kind of money even during the Cold War," the Russian embassy’s press service quoted Antonov as saying.
US financial system discredited by plans to give Russian assets to Ukraine — embassy
Plans to hand over some of confiscated Russian assets to Ukraine are discrediting the US financial system, the Russian Embassy in the United States said in a statement on Friday.
"We noted new statements by US Administration on the intention to transfer a part of Russian entrepreneurs’ confiscated assets to Ukraine," Russian diplomats said. "There is not only an obvious disregard of generally accepted legal norms, but also a breach of fundamental American values which erroneously seemed unshakable. First of all those related to the protection of private property rights."
"Such dangerous precedents only serve to discredit the United States as a ‘bastion’ of free enterprise. Washington, with its own hands, is undermining confidence in both American and international financial system, as well as security of the dollar jurisdiction," reads the statement, posted on the embassy’s official Telegram channel.
The declared intentions of the US government de-facto confirm that the White House "does not hesitate to put pressure on local courts to serve its own narrow interests," in this case - "for the sake of the declared ‘fight against the Russian threat’ and support for the Kiev regime."
Director of the Task Force KleptoCapture of the Department of Justice Andrew Adams said on Thursday US authorities intended to begin the transfer of forfeited Russian assets for the benefit of Ukraine in the near future.
In late 2022, US President Joe Biden signed the Consolidated Appropriations Act 2023, including an initiative empowering the Justice Department to direct forfeited funds to the State Department for the purpose of providing aid to Ukraine, the official noted.
Because of untimely aid, only one third of injured Ukrainian soldiers survive — expert
In his opinion, Washington remains completely deaf to Moscow’s signals.
"I would like to ask the American public a long overdue question: what else should Russia say or do to make the hotheads in the Administration come to their senses and avert the nuclear Armageddon that the White House publicly is so keen to prevent?" he said.
Two out of three soldiers injured in the zone of the special military operation succumb to their injuries in Ukrainian hospitals because they did not receive medical assistance in time, a Lugansk military expert told TASS on Friday.
"According to intercepted information, coming from Ukrainian military doctors, only one out of three injured servicemen survives. Approximately 25% of all survivors are disabled [for life]," said Andrey Marochko, a military expert and a retired officer of the Lugansk People’s Republic’s (LPR) People’s Militia.
He said that between January 16 and 20, around 1,500 injured servicemen were admitted to Ukrainian hospitals from the operative zone of the Second Army Corps of the Russian Armed Forces.
"The majority of patients died as a result of untimely medical aid, blood loss, unhygienic conditions, disrupted logistics and other negative factors," he added.
