WASHINGTON: Provocative US statements about the Russian armed forces in the conditions of the West's hybrid war against Russia are fraught with negative consequences, Russian Ambassador to Washington Anatoly Antonov told reporters.
"It is obvious that in the context of the hybrid war unleashed by the West against us, the provocative statements of the US Army can lead to the most negative consequences," the diplomat said in a statement posted on the embassy’s Telegram channel, commenting on the US Army’s report on the Russian military, in which Moscow is called an "enemy" of Washington.
The ambassador pointed out that such rhetoric from "once respected colleagues from the Pentagon" is "extremely concerning." "The Pentagon should have remembered the basics of international politics, given the special responsibility Russia and the United States bear for strategic stability," he said. "A return to the principle of indivisibility of security is the only way to prevent conflicts," Antonov added.
On Monday, the US Army published a report on the Russian armed forces and their expected tactics in the event of a large-scale conflict, though it did not focus on the special military operation in Ukraine. The 280-page document titled "Do you know your enemy?" was posted on social media.
