The US Embassy called the recommendations of US Senator Roger Wicker to make a preemptive nuclear strike against Russia as irresponsible. The diplomatic mission reported this on Facebook.
“Such statements are irresponsible. We advise all the unenlightened to pick up and carefully read the joint statement of the presidents of Russia and the United States [Владимира Путина и Джо Байдена] of June 16, 2021, “the embassy said, noting the agreement of both sides that a nuclear war should not be unleashed, since there is no winner in it.
Wicker represents the state of Mississippi in the US Senate, continued in the embassy, and it houses the offices of such military-industrial companies as Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, General Atomics and others. “This raises questions. Whose interests is the senator promoting when he calls for war – the Ukrainians or the US military-industrial complex? ”The diplomats asked.
The embassy also noted that during the talks on December 7, Putin and Biden “outlined the contours of reducing tensions” in relations between the two countries, now Moscow and Washington are waiting for thoughtful and serious work on the process of agreeing security guarantees for a long time. “It is unlikely that Wicker’s ill-considered statements will help us get out of the current acute phase of Russian-American relations,” the diplomatic mission concluded.
