Russian Ambassador to the United States Anatoly Antonov in an interview with the media said US authorities had effectively punished Ukraine, which they used as a destroyer against Russia, with its decision to continue sending weapons to Kyiv.

"America chooses to support the war. America sides with crime and supports fascism. In the interest of the greedy and never satisfied military industry complex, the US government sacrifices the lives of the common people," he said, commenting on a military aid package signed by President Biden on Wednesday, which includes aid for Ukraine, reported by TASS April 25.

"With their decision, local politicians are effectively destroying the entire country, which they use as a breaking tool against Russia," he continued.

According to Ambassador Antonov, "the shameless attitude of US authorities is very striking."

"They talk about the need to pump up the Nazi Kyiv regime (with weapons) here. They are ready to kill as many Ukrainians and Russians as possible with American-made weapons. In the end, they want to save the world, based on American weapons. rules. To strengthen the Western countries' dominance system against the global majority. Basically, the Government violates its own obligations based on the UN Charter, to carry out, along with other Security Council member states, a special responsibility for international peace and security," he explained.

The United States Senate on Tuesday approved a US$95 billion aid package (Rp1,536,031,250,000,000) for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan which were long delayed, after gaining majority support on Capitol Hill, quoted by CNN.

The total package received 79 versus 18 support in the vote. Fourteen-eight Democratic Party members and 31 Republicans approved the bill.

Nearly 61 billion US dollars (Rp986,293,750,000,000) from the latest aid package allocated to Ukraine. This is almost the same as what was included in the previous Senate bill.

Of the total funds, about US$23 billion (Rp371,958,300,000,000) will be used to add weapons, supplies and facilities. Then, more than US$11 billion (Rp177,893,100,000,000) will fund current US military operations in the region. There are also nearly US$14 billion (Rp226,409,400,000,000) to help Ukraine buy advanced weapons systems and other defense equipment.

"America's assistance will not save Zelensky. New weapons will be destroyed, and the purpose of special military operations will be achieved," said Ambassador Antonov.

The diplomat warned, "the US military shipment and its satellites have been burned, set on fire, and will be burned by the Russian Armed Forces."

The Russian people are fully united in supporting President Vladimir Putin, our army and navy. The people understand that our goal is fair. All objectives of special military operations will be achieved," added Antonov.
