Today, Maria Zakharova of the Russian Foreign Ministry issued a stern warning that continued US policy may soon lead to direct confrontation between Moscow and Washington. She urged the United States to de-escalate tensions by abandoning its current path.
A far-sighted policy
According to Zakharova, the United States has plunged into a new conflict after failing in Afghanistan; this is clear by their support of Kyiv’s neo-Nazi government with provision of funds and weapons as well as an augmented military presence.
This matter, which is undeniably hazardous and lacks foresight, places the United States and Russia on an alarming collision course. According to Russian media sources, it is a direct consequence both of America’s ambition to secure hegemony through any tactics possible while disregarding new geopolitical facts as well as their refusal to engage in meaningful conversations regarding Russia’s security.
Moscow must be heard.
She was adamant that Moscow’s opinions be considered in Washington, noting that there is currently no reason to have hope for this.
The United States and Russia recently held a diplomatic gathering in Istanbul, the purpose of which was to address visa obstacles between them. Additionally, they discussed exchanging diplomats as well as optimizing their respective diplomatic missions’ operations. It is an important milestone that signifies positive relations between these two powerful nations.
Under the mediation of Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates, a prisoner exchange was conducted between Russia and America. As part of this process, renowned basketball player Brittney Griner was released by Moscow in return for Washington releasing notorious arms dealer Victor Bout.
