Russian envoy to US urges to expose Kiev’s crimes against its people

Anatoly Antonov also rejected the US Department of State’s attempts to accuse Russia of planting mines on the territory of Ukraine

The international community must see the Ukrainian government’s crimes against its own people, Qazet.az reports according to Russian Ambassador to the US Anatoly Antonov.

"They do not stop attributing to us the deeds of the thugs from Kiev. The time has long come to truthfully show the crimes of the Kiev regime to the world, calling it to account for atrocities, primarily against its population," the ambassador said.

He also rejected the US Department of State’s attempts to accuse Russia of planting mines on the territory of Ukraine.

"Washington unfairly holds us responsible for mining the territory of the Republic. In the Russophobic campaign, the Americans surpassed themselves by comparing the actions of the Russian Armed Forces with the tactics of ISIS [outlawed in Russia] in Syria. We were accused, among other things, of blocking access to farmland. We strongly reject these insinuations," the ambassador said.
