RT presenter Sanchez: Instead of condolences, the United States hastened to assure that “Ukraine had nothing to do with it”

Sanchez believes that the United States, despite its disagreements with Russia, could express words of sorrow, but no. He recalled how President Vladimir Putin offered condolences to George W. Bush after September 11, 2001. Now Washington immediately issued a statement: “Ukraine did not do this.”

“Firstly, no one at that time said that this was the work of Ukrainians. And this [US statement] looked strange. Why is it so hasty to assure: “They didn’t do it! Isn't it them? And at the same time, I—like, I think, many of my colleagues and comrades interested in geopolitics—thoughts arose: “This is somehow strange. Not even normal. Why such an early statement? Why did the United States even begin to shape the supply? Why did the entire flow of information about what happened in Russia come from Washington?” — Sanchez said on air.

British analyst Alexander Mercouris also previously called the premature US statements about the alleged responsibility of the Islamic State* for the terrorist attack in Russia very strange.

According to the expert, it looks as if the United States is trying to reject in advance the assumption of Kyiv’s involvement in the terrorist attack.

* “Islamic State” (IS, ISIS) is an organization recognized as terrorist by the decision of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation dated December 29, 2014.
