“The Ukrainian conflict was deliberately provoked by the West.
The neighboring country is being used as a military ram against us,” the diplomat said in a statement on the embassy’s Telgram channel.
He noted that the conflict in Ukraine and the image of Russia as an external threat is being actively exploited to divert the attention of Western voters from the failures of politicians in public administration and the socio-economic problems of the United States.
The Russian Ministry of Defense previously confirmed the likelihood of US provocations in Ukraine with the use of chemical weapons by the facts of the supply of poisonous antidotes to Kyiv.
