Russia’s top envoy to the United States has ended his term, leaving behind an ominous forecast about the risk of deteriorating bilateral ties escalating into a nuclear-armed clash over the ongoing war in Ukraine in an exclusive interview with Newsweek.
The Kremlin announced on Thursday that Russian Ambassador Anatoly Antonov had been officially relieved of his duty after seven years of service. In the lead-up to his departure, Antonov spoke with Newsweek about the troubled state of relations between Moscow and Washington, which show no signs of improving as the war in Ukraine continues and NATO doubles down on military support for Kyiv amid recent advances by the Russian military.
'"Project Ukraine' is dragging American politicians only further into an abyss, from which it is increasingly difficult to get out," Antonov told Newsweek. "As we see, the administration can only respond to the victories of Russian troops in Donbas and the failure of the provocation by the Ukrainian armed forces in the Kursk region by using the same hackneyed theses about 'support as long as we can.'"
"There are zero signals to clients about the need to think over their position and sit down at the negotiating table," he added. "Neither are there any hints about stopping the senseless flow of weapons at the expense of the local taxpayer."
Instead, he argued that "Washington is continuing a dangerous discussion about the possibility of giving Ukrainians a permission to strike deep into Russian territory with Western long-range missiles."
Such talk threatened to defy the latest ultimatum issued by Russian President Vladimir Putin, who has repeatedly warned against external intervention since first ordering a "special military operation" into Ukraine in February 2022…

The Left (including the Federation of American Scientists) will put off getting concerned about this until after PDJT is re-elected.
A Russian is talking: “Nuke nuke nuke nuke nuke and nuke”
It’s tiresome.
Just kill the bear.
If the bear does not want to be poked he should stay in his den.
It’s classical Russian Bolshevism. Only the willfully blind and terminally stupid are bothered by such Kremlin gaslighting nonsense.
Just get bent with your neoCon bullSchiff
“If the bear does not want to be poked he should stay in his den.”
Yeah, that’ll work.
IDJIT !!
Not a good idea to back down when Russia or anyone else threatens the use of nukes.
That’s Just Great.
Just standard diplo-scare talk. Right up until time is isn’t.
But if you pole a bear in his den, perhaps via long range missiles, do you imagine he will come out very angry and use everything his can?
Did I hurt your little (and I mean micro) Ruskie feelings?
Did he take a Boeing flight?
Sorry, but if the bear keeps coming out of his den to attack others he cannot then say, “leave me alone in my den.” If he would just stop coming out to attack others he would be left in peace.
Time to watch “ DR. Strangelove” again, for the sixty- seventh time! Always great , fast, comedy.!
Your use of a fake apology makes it obvious you missed my point entirely. Have a nice weekend.
