“No one here is gloating, everyone is bitterly watching what is happening in the United States,” he said.
According to him, the sad thing is that people die during the demonstrations.
“It’s very bitter that even in this situation, when the country is faced with such serious problems, they are trying to find the Russian footprint, blame Russia for allegedly interfering in the internal affairs of the United States, supposedly instigating what is happening here ... It's all not true” - said the ambassador.
As Antonov pointed out, what is happening in the United States is the result of interracial and interethnic policies that have been pursued in the country.
“This is a surge, this is an explosion of contradictions that have accumulated over a long time. Coronavirus and the economic situation in the country have superimposed all this, ”he added.
Earlier, former national security adviser to former US President Barack Obama, Susan Rice, on CNN, announced her suspicions about Russia's alleged involvement in the unrest in the country.
Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova commented on Rice’s words.
