“We took note of the numerous anti-Russian and anti-Chinese statements by US officials during the US-Africa summit,” the Russian foreign ministry said in a statement on its website.

Zakharova added that the words of the United States about the freedom of choice of African countries are an example of double standards.

“Once again, Washington is demonstrating its inability to have equal dialogue and clean competition,” the Russian Foreign Ministry stressed.

Earlier, an official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry said that if it were possible to achieve the destruction of Russia, the United States would immediately begin to do so.
