Antonov: The US is aggravating the situation in Ukraine by refusing to listen to Russia’s demands. According to him, they supply weapons to Kyiv, calling it “a good investment.” Antonov also said that a conversation with Russia from the perspective of sanctions pressure has no prospects.

In his opinion, peace agreements on Ukraine will be reached sooner or later, he said. The Russian ambassador to the U.S. made the comments in an interview with Newsweek.
