In Ukraine, the forced assimilation of the Russian-speaking population is being carried out, and the United States promotes this practice with political and military assistance. About it declared Russian Ambassador to the United States Anatoly Antonov on Facebook.
According to the diplomat, Washington’s key goal was to “push” Moscow “as far as possible to the east”, for which the United States is “squeezing out” the Russian-speaking population from their usual places of residence.
“The Americans prefer not only to ignore attempts to forcibly assimilate Russians in Ukraine, but also indulge this in every possible way with political and military support,” Antonov said.
The Russian ambassador described such US actions as “primitive and crude cynicism.” “It turns out that the beautiful slogans of Washington about the highest value of human rights are not worth a penny,” he concluded.
Peskov said about the risk of “ignition” of the situation in the Donbass at any time
