Washington is increasingly involved in the conflict in Ukraine, ”RIA Novosti quotes him.
According to Antonov, Russia does not intend to put up with the growth of military threats on the country's borders.
He stressed that the participation of the US military in the fighting in Ukraine would lead to disastrous consequences.
“I am convinced that further aggravation of the situation is not in the interests of Washington.
Although today it is difficult to predict how far the United States is ready to go in escalation with us,” the diplomat added.
Earlier it was reported that the United States deployed the 101st Airborne Division in Romania to participate in military exercises.
Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said that these US actions lead to an aggravation of the situation.
Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov stressed that deploying a US airborne division in Romania would not contribute to stability.
