🇷🇺 🇺🇸 Ambassador Anatoly Antonov's #answer to a media question
❓: Dear Ambassador, how could you comment on the accusations of the US administration representatives against #Russia about its alleged violation of #CWC and #BTWC?
💬 Anatoly #Antonov: Such nervous statements by the US authorities indicate the serious concern of the The White House about the revelation of the truth about the ongoing work on the military biological program near the borders of the Russian Federation funded by the #USA.
🔹 The US administration justifies illegal and dangerous activities with standard tactics by accusing Russia of all sins. It uses groundless and tired old arguments. As we say in Russia: "a guilty conscience needs no accuser".
🔹 We call on the United States to immediately wrap up illegal work in the field of military biology, including on the territory of the post-Soviet space. As well as to stop blocking the efforts of the international community to strengthen the BTWC regime and not to prevent the resumption of work on a legally binding Protocol to the Convention with an effective verification mechanism.
🔹 Moreover, it is time for #Washington to accelerate the destruction of national chemical weapons stockpiles. I would like to remind that the United States is still the only state party to CWC, which has not yet fulfilled its international obligations.

🇷🇺 🇺🇸 #Комментарий Посольства
🔹 Как сообщил телеканал Fox Business, чиновники Белого дома принялись подключать популярных блогеров к пропагандисткой кампании по возложению вины за топливный кризис в #США на российское руководство.
🔹 Данная новость подтверждает стремление Вашингтона зарабатывать политические очки за счет русофобии. Трезво мыслящим людям понятно, что образ внешнего врага в лице нашей страны нужен правящим кругам для оправдания собственных провалов в решении внутриамериканских проблем.
🔹 Здесь предпочитают закрывать глаза на то, что истинная причина кризиса и рекордной инфляции в США - необеспеченные триллионные финвливания в экономику, а также санкционные войны против неугодных государств.
🔹 #Россия – надежный поставщик энергоресурсов, доказавший это десятилетиями взаимовыгодного партнерства со всеми государствами мира.
🔹 Не мы отказались от поставок топлива в США. Администрация, игнорируя потребности простых граждан, сама прекратила покупать у нас #углеводороды.
🔹 Политизация Соединенными Штатами экономических проблем продемонстрировала свою ущербность, что оборачивается сильнейшим и болезненным ударом по благосостоянию рядовых американцев. В результате такой политики двусторонние отношения между Россией и Америкой продолжают ухудшаться. Это наносит серьезный урон связям наших народов.

🇷🇺 🇺🇸 The Embassy’s #Comment
🔹 According to the Fox Business channel, The White House officials have begun to involve popular #bloggers in a propaganda campaign aimed at pinning the blame for the #fuel crisis in the United States on the Russian leadership.
🔹 This news confirms #Washington's desire to earn political points on #Russophobia. It is clear to reasonable people that the external enemy image of Russia is needed for the US leadership to justify its own failures in addressing domestic problems.
🔹 Here they prefer to ignore the fact that the true cause of the crisis and the record inflation in the United States is unsecured trillion-dollar financial injections into the #economy and #sanctions wars against undesirable states.
🔹 #Russia is a reliable supplier of #energy resources. This fact has been proven through decades of mutually beneficial partnership with all countries of the world.
🔹 Our country did not refuse to supply fuel to the #USA. It was the US administration that ceased purchasing hydrocarbons from Russia, ignoring the needs of ordinary American citizens.
🔹 The politicization of economic problems by the United States has demonstrated its lameness, which is delivering a strong and painful blow to the welfare of ordinary Americans. Such a policy results in further deterioration of bilateral relations between Russia and the USA and causes a serious damage to the ties between our peoples.

🇷🇺 Embassy's #comment
🔹 We took note of another series of accusations against our country by the United States of alleged violations of the Chemical Weapons Convention (#CWC) and the Convention on the Prohibition of Biological and Toxin Weapons (#BTWC). To back up the insinuations, the U.S. Department of State distributed a video through social networks, clearly designed to distract the attention of the international community from its own illegal activities in the field of military biology. The arguments of the U.S. Side do not stand up to criticism.
🔹 Cited below are the facts about the non-compliance of the United States with its international obligations under the abovementioned agreements.
1️⃣. In the course of the special operation in #Ukraine, the Russian #Defence Ministry received evidence of the creation of biological weapons components with the direct participation of the #Pentagon. The financing by the #US side of military biological projects on the Ukrainian territory is documented. The total funding amounted to $32 million. One of the curators of this activity was the head of the US Defense Threat Reduction Agency (#DTRA) office at the US Embassy in #Kiev, Joanna #Wintrall.
2️⃣ . The Russian Federation is fully aware that radical Ukrainian groups under the control of representatives of American special services have prepared several potential scenarios of the use of toxic chemicals in order to carry out various types of provocations against civilians.
🔹 The objective of such inhumane actions is to accuse #Russia of the use of chemical weapons against the civil population of Ukraine. Such information cannot but raise serious concern, taking into account that the United States has not yet destroyed its national stocks of chemical warfare agents.
🔹 We demand that the US Side disclose information about military biological activity in laboratories on the territory of Ukraine as soon as possible. What kind of peaceful research we are talking about if the Pentagon stands behind these projects.

🇷🇺 🇺🇸 Ambassador Anatoly Antonov's #answer to a media question:
❓: Dear Ambassador, how could you comment on the new "package" of anti-Russian #sanctions on March 24?
💬Anatoly #Antonov: This is another example of obscuring the reality. The #US authorities are trying to punish members of the State Duma for expressing their own position that runs counter to #Washington's guidelines. Legislators defend the national interests of Russia. There is no other way.
🔷 It is obvious that the new "package" of anti-Russian sanctions aims to destroy the #economy and undermine the political situation in our country. Trampling on their own slogans about freedom of speech and democracy, the US authorities want to gag all dissenters.
🔷 Serial sanctions strikes will not achieve their goals. The untruth cannot bring the people of #Russia to its knees. No one can force us to sacrifice the good of the Motherland for pleasing the will of the United States and its allies.
🔷It would be good for the U.S. leadership to channel all their determination and uncompromising attitude to addressing the numerous problems of their own country and not assert themselves at the expense of the Russian Federation.

🇷🇺 🇺🇸 Ambassador Anatoly Antonov's #answer to a media question:
❓: Dear Ambassador, how could you comment on the accusations by Under Secretary of State Victoria #Nuland of the alleged responsibility of the leadership of #Russia for the deaths of thousands of Ukrainians and Russian soldiers?
💬Anatoly #Antonov: Such cynical rhetoric of the U.S. Department of State representative is unacceptable.
🔷 #Washington should bring charges against itself for destroying cities and killing tens of thousands of people in #Yugoslavia, #Afghanistan, #Iraq, #Libya and #Syria. The countless atrocities that marked the path of the US - NATO armed interventions are not limited to the recent history.
🔷 Just yesterday the world honored the memory of the victims of Yugoslavia. The US bombings, which lasted 78 days, took lives of more than 2 thousand innocent people, including children, women and the elderly. #America has wiped out numerous civilian infrastructure facilities. As a result, the country plunged into a humanitarian catastrophe.
🔷 The Russian special operation aims to put an end to the long-lasting genocide of civilians in #Donbass and disarm neo-Nazis in #Ukraine. It's time to understand that our country, unlike the United States, is doing everything to stop war crimes.
