Antonov accused the United States of unleashing a hybrid war against Russia

The United States unleashed a hybrid war against Russia on its own territory. Moscow has repeatedly warned Washington that their actions are leading the world to a “catastrophic scenario.” This was stated by the Russian Ambassador to the United States Anatoly Antonov, leads his words to the press service of the diplomatic mission.

“The Americans and their allies unleashed an all-out hybrid war against Russia on our own territory. At the same time, they are cashing in on NATO partners, forcing them to finance the renaissance of the American military-industrial complex. The US defense industry did not see such money even during the years of the Cold War, ”Antonov noted.

Commenting on the White House statement about the danger of Russian rhetoric in the nuclear sphere, the ambassador called them “empty and irresponsible.” He stressed that none of the Russian political and military leaders had ever threatened to use nuclear weapons.

At the same time, Moscow constantly “warns Washington” that its course of defeating Russia “on the battlefield” is leading the world to a “catastrophic scenario,” Antonov said. He added that the American authorities do not listen to such signals, and wondered what else Russia needs to do so that the United States “changes its mind and does not allow nuclear Armageddon.”

The Russian authorities have repeatedly accused the West of unleashing a hybrid war against the Russian Federation. In particular, in September 2022 Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov declaredthat these actions were “unprecedented”. He noted that the purpose of the hybrid war is the destruction of the Russian economy and stability in the country, as well as the isolation of the Russian Federation in the international arena.
