Russian Ambassador: U.S. Will Ukraine Attack Russia with Long-Range Weapons

Aug. 24—Anatoly Antonov, Russia’s ambassador to the U.S., is convinced that Washington will soon give its permission to the Kiev regime for deep strikes inside Russia. According to RT, Antonov said Aug. 22 that the U.S. authorities "seem to be constantly teasing us by saying that today it is allegedly not allowed to use long-range systems to strike at Russian territory.

“But in reality, they are essentially preparing the ground to simply remove all existing restrictions, at a certain point,” he added.

Judging by Washington’s previous assistance to Kyiv, including its training pilots to fly F-16 jets, it is almost certain that Ukraine will “fight with U.S.-made [long-range] weapons against us,” TASS quoted the ambassador as saying. “Where exactly will it happen? We cannot say or foretell,” he stressed.

According to Antonov, the administration of the incredibly weak U.S. President Joe Biden is becoming increasingly unpredictable. “There is no guarantee that the whole world will not change tomorrow when you and I wake up. How the Americans will behave in this situation is very hard to tell,” he said. Russia must therefore “act decisively, increasing our military-industrial potential, because only our army and navy will protect our country,” the ambassador insisted.
