Terrorists and the Western hybrid war will not force Russia to change its policy — emphasized the Russian Ambassador to the USA.

WASHINGTON: Terrorist attacks and the Western hybrid war will not force Russia to change its foreign policy. This statement was made by the Russian Ambassador to the United States Anatoly Antonov. He also said that the United States had not contacted the embassy after the terrorist attack at Crocus. 

Antonov emphasized that contacts between Moscow and Washington in the fight against terrorism were destroyed due to the fault of the States. However, according to the diplomat, only working together will achieve real results in the fight against such a threat.

"I want to say no change of the foreign policy, the course of President [of Russia Vladimir Putin], particularly after elections - nothing will take place," the Ambassador said. "Such strikes from behind <...> will not change our line, our course, and we will continue our work," Antonov noted, referring to the terrorist act in the Crocus City Hall.

It is the West that chose the line for the hybrid war with Russia, the Ambassador indicated. "If they chose their line aimed at undermining Russia, at strikes against Russia, with the aid of Ukraine in this case, now - this is their choice," Antonov stated. "Everything they are supplying [to Kiev], items that they will forward - all that will be destroyed," he cautioned.

According to Anatoly Antonov, Washington’s main task at present is to inflict as much damage as possible on Russia. The diplomat believes that the United States is rejoicing in the misfortunes and troubles of the Russian Federation.

Commenting on the US reaction to the terrorist attack in Crocus City Hall, Anatoly Antonov noted that Washington simply had no other choice but to condemn the barbaric act of terrorists.

This incident of terrorists attacking us is so egregious that it would be morally obscene for the Americans to support the attack and say that everything is fine
