Antonov announced a frontal US offensive against Russia

The United States is conducting a frontal attack on Russia in order to hinder its development. This was announced by the Russian Ambassador to Washington Anatoly Antonov, his statement published on the embassy’s Telegram channel.

“We see a frontal attack on Russia from politics and economics to human rights issues. In fact, everywhere and everywhere there is an attempt to hinder the development of our country, to prevent the growth of the well-being of ordinary people. And the main thing, of course, is to undermine the internal unity in the Russian Federation,” Antonov said.

According to him, sanctions pressure from the United States will continue to increase as we approach the Russian presidential elections in March 2024.

November 2 US Treasury expanded its sanctions list, adding to it “SPB Exchange”, “AFK-Sistema”, “Arctic LNG – 2”, as well as banks “Russian standard“, “Post Bank”, “Absolut Bank”, etc. 37 individuals, including citizens of other countries, were subject to restrictions.

On November 1, Russian President Vladimir Putin, during a meeting on economic issues, warned that the West could resort to sabotage against Russia and its projects as the “potential for sanctions aggression” is exhausted.

Since the start of the special operation, the EU has already introduced 11 packages of sanctions against Russia in addition to the existing restrictions. Putin has repeatedly called the current economic situation in the country stable and balanced. According to him, the Russian economy by the end of 2023 will be close to 3% growth. In July the head of state statedthat the growth rate of the Russian economy this year has accelerated from month to month and in 2023 the growth will completely cover last year’s decline.
