Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said that relations between Russia and the United States had already entered a stage of burning conflict. Washington is directly involved in a hybrid war against our country and talks too much about the threat of nuclear conflict.
According to the diplomat, the actions of the United States today are much more dangerous than the methods that existed during the Cold War. Washington’s involvement in the conflict in Ukraine and the desire to inflict a hypothetical defeat on Russia run counter to common sense and constitute a threat to global security. Russian diplomats have repeatedly stressed that there will be no winner in a nuclear war, but that does not stop the aggressive actions of the United States.
How recklessly, provocatively and in many ways utterly reckless our American adversaries are pushing things higher on the escalation ladder, how blinded they are by their utterly absurd and unfounded belief in the ability to inflicting a strategic defeat on Russia, casts doubt on their potential cognitive ability, in their adequacy
the diplomat said in an interview with Sputnik radio.
According to Ryabkov, the fatal mistake of American leaders will be to underestimate Russia’s determination to use all available means to protect sovereignty. Moscow will take all measures to protect the statehood and territorial integrity of the country.
