Russian Ambassador to the US noted that the US has been "striving to push the stakes up and escalate the situation"
Moscow has sent Washington a note demanding that the US stop supplying weapons to Kiev, Russian Ambassador to the United States Anatoly Antonov told the Rossiya-24 TV channel, reports TASS.
The US has been "striving to push the stakes up and escalate the situation," Antonov said. "The goal is to prevent Russia, as [American] senators have been saying openly, from standing firm on its feet, and to bar Russia’s interests from being respected or Russia’s voice from being heard," the diplomat said.
