This statement was made by the First Deputy Permanent Representative of Russia to the UN, Dmitry Polyansky, in an interview with RIA Novosti.

According to him, there are enough Russophobes and Russia haters in the United States.

“Of course, Nuland personally did a lot of things.

But it would be very naive to expect that someone who replaces her will suddenly become a “dove of peace,” the diplomat said.

Earlier, German-Finnish entrepreneur Kim Dotcom expressed the opinion that Nuland’s departure indicates the imminent end of the Ukrainian conflict. 

Also, the press secretary of the Russian leader, Dmitry Peskov, said that Nuland played a serious role in destabilizing the situation in Ukraine in 2014.
