Antonov: Ukraine does not drink water without US permission/ it is impossible to create a buffer zone
Russia’s ambassador to the United States said that Ukraine will not achieve its goal of creating a buffer zone on Russian soil.
According to RCO News Agency, Anatoly Antonov, the Russian ambassador to America, considered it impossible to create a “buffer zone” on Russian soil and said that Kiev would never be able to do such a thing.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky previously said that the purpose of the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ attack on the Kursk region on Russian soil is to create a “buffer zone” on this country’s territory. Antonov responded to this claim by saying, “It is impossible. “There will be no buffer zone in the territory of the Russian Federation.”
The Russian ambassador, who made these statements to reporters, said in response to a question about the behavior of the United States regarding the attacks and statements of Ukraine: “What Russia should do or how to defend its borders has nothing to do with the Americans. “We will not even talk to them about this.”
A meeting between Blinken and Lavrov is not scheduled
Antonov also said about the possibility of a meeting between the foreign ministers of the United States and Russia, Antony Blinken and Sergey Lavrov, on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly, and said that the American representatives did not offer a meeting and dialogue with the Russian side, and that a meeting between Blinken and Lavrov is not planned on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly. .
Asked about the possibility of a meeting between Blinken and Lavrov at the UN General Assembly, he told reporters: “Well, you tell them what to say… We didn’t cut off communications.” “We are not running away from the Americans, nor are we running after them.”
Stating that if there was an offer from the US, the Russian side would undoubtedly consider it, Antonov said that no such offer has been made to the Russian Embassy until today.
America has a dagger hidden in the back
The Russian diplomat also said that the United States is extending a hand to Moscow as a sign of peace in its strategic stability talks with Russia, but it still has a dagger in its back in the other hand.
In response to a question about this, Antonov said: “The current (US) government behaves like a person who extends his hand (as a sign of peace) on one hand… and on the other hand keeps a dagger behind his head.”
He also said about the restrictions imposed by the United States on the use of American weapons donated to Ukraine in the attack on Russian territory, Washington apparently intends to provoke Moscow by reducing these restrictions, and added: “They actually provide the ground for a In a special case, simply cancel all existing restrictions.”
Ukraine does not even drink water without the permission of the American master!
The Russian ambassador to the United States also reiterated Moscow’s position that Ukraine will not do anything without Washington’s green light, and that the attack by the country’s armed forces on the Kursk region in Russian territory was undoubtedly carried out with the coordination and approval of the United States.
Antonov told reporters: “I have come to the conclusion that nothing is done in Kiev without the permission of the masters.” Considering how many advisers there are around Zelensky and what information is provided to the Zelensky regime, to say that they (the Americans) do not know anything (is not true)… (Ukrainians) do not dare to even lift a finger without the consent of Washington. .. or even point a machine gun at us. They are at least sure that all their actions will be fully supported by Western countries.”
In its latest action, the Ukrainian army has launched attacks on the “Kursk” region of Russia, and the forces of this army claim to advance in the Russian regions. Kiev claims that it controls about 1,000 square kilometers of Russian territory, and both sides have asked residents to leave the respective areas, but the Russian Defense Ministry has announced that the advance of Ukrainian forces has stopped and they have suffered heavy losses.
Ukrainian soldiers admit that the aim of this attack was to control Russian territories and also to force Moscow to divert its forces from the Donbass front; An attack that is considered by many military analysts as well as some newspapers as “Ukraine’s biggest gamble”; Because now the country’s army – which has long suffered from a lack of manpower and ammunition – must wait for Russian countermeasures.
