MOSCOW: Russia’s ambassador to the United States, Anatoly Antonov, has called on Washington to abandon its aggressive rhetoric on foreign expansion and withdraw its military capabilities from Russia’s borders.
He explicitly warned the United States that unless immediate action was taken, the United States would be held responsible for the consequences. “We have no place to retreat and NATO forces have reached Russia’s borders,” he said.
The envoy added that the United States is trying to dominate Russia not only on land but also in the sea and air, but Russia is not at all negligent in its defense.

Antonov told the media that the United States, along with Russia, has a special responsibility for international peace and security, as stated in the UN Charter.
The Russian diplomat said it was time to abandon the aggressive rhetoric of foreign expansion and think about how future generations would live together.
