Russian Ambassador to the US Anatoly Antonov on Wednesday accused Washington of prolonging the conflict in Ukraine and fomenting World War III by supplying Ukraine with weapons, according to a TASS report.
Background: In a media release, Antonov censured the US for its monetary help to Ukraine, saying that the Pentagon could provide to “overestimate” the price of military ordnance to Kiev and be off by multi billion dollars. “It’s surprising how easily Americans spoil funds on Ukrainian allegations,” he said.
“Amid the unprecedented funding allocated to purchase arms for the Kyiv regime, the poorest African, Latin American and Asian countries remain unaddressed. There are places on the planet where people are starving to death.”
“Meanwhile, the United States considers it a more relevant task to prolong the bloodshed and incite a third world war due to the de facto participation of the West in the conflict,” he added.

Meanwhile, Russian President Vladimir Putin recently confessed that he faces army inadequacies in the current conflict in Ukraine.
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has asked Chinese President Xi Jinping to examine Chinese commercial entities that are assisting Putin’s military attempts in Ukraine.
