The Russian Foreign Ministry decided today, Tuesday, to summon the US ambassador to Moscow, according to the “Sky News” news website.
The move comes in the wake of a mutual escalation between the US and Russia, after President Joe Biden’s visit to Ukraine on Monday, and his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin’s decision to withdraw from the START nuclear treaty.
Putin had maintained that it was impossible to defeat Russia on the battlefield.
The Russian president’s statements came during his message to the Federal Assembly, and he said that the Western elites do not hide their goal of inflicting a strategic defeat on Russia.
Putin added: “What does this mean for us? It means a final end to us, that is, they intend to transfer the local conflict to the stage of a global confrontation. This is how we understand all this and we will respond accordingly, because in this case we are already talking about the fate of Russia.” .
“They cannot help but realize that it is impossible to defeat Russia on the battlefield,” Putin continued.
