Russian diplomat says the United States is instigating World War III

TASS – In response to a journalist’s question on Wednesday, Russian Ambassador to the United States Anatoly Antonov said that the United States, by supplying weapons to Ukraine, is prolonging the bloodshed and provoking a third world war. “It’s amazing how the Americans waste their money on their Ukrainian agents,” he said. The press service of the embassy quoted Antonov as saying: “The Pentagon could” overestimate “the cost of military equipment supplied to Kiev, miscalculating it by several billion dollars.”

“While unprecedented funds have been allocated to purchase weapons for the Kiev regime, the poorest countries in Africa, Latin America and Asia are left unattended. There are places on the planet where people are dying of hunger. Meanwhile, the United States considers it urgent to prolong the bloodletting The bloodshed and provocation of World War III through the West’s actual involvement in the conflict.”

Earlier, US State Department deputy spokesman Vedant Patel, when asked about the risks of conflict escalation due to Western supplies of equipment to Ukraine and Washington’s agreement to deliver the F-16 fighter, admitted that the Western strategy for providing military assistance to Kiev is aimed at strengthening the supply of weapons to the Ukrainian army.

Earlier, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov commented on Western arms supplies to Ukraine in an interview with RT, stating that the special military operation was started with the security of Donbass in mind, but has now become almost a collective war against the West.
