"Russian-American relations, which have been in deep crisis over the past few years, have reached a critical point," the ambassador concluded.

Antonov stressed that America itself became the cause of the problem of dialogue with the States.

“Because of the United States, bilateral political dialogue is now deadlocked,” he said.

Earlier, a senior US State Department official said that the United States is not currently considering a new round of dialogue with Russia on strategic stability.
