Antonov said that Russia and the United States do not have high-level political contacts
Russian Ambassador to the United States Anatoly Antonov pointed out the complete lack of high-level political contacts between Moscow and Washington. According to him, sometimes it is possible to achieve only some kind of dialogue with the White House or the State Department, reports TASS.
“I would like to note that we are able to maintain contact with the White House, where we have the opportunity to raise important issues of the situation in the world, in Ukraine, and US policy in the post-Soviet space, which, of course, is directed against our country,” the diplomat emphasized.
With the American foreign policy department, as Antonov clarified, contacts are limited to discussing technical problems in the functioning of relations between the two countries. He added that due to difficulties in relations with Washington, there are not enough Russian diplomats in the United States, which greatly affected the work of the consulates.
Earlier, Antonov said that the American administration refuses to discuss with the Russian authorities the attack of the Ukrainian Armed Forces (AFU) on the Kursk region.
