According to the diplomat, the Americans openly admit that they transmit satellite and other intelligence to the command of the Armed Forces of UkraineMOSCOW, October 6.
/tass/. Western countries, with their support for Kiev and its crimes, only prolong the fighting and are increasingly drawn into the conflict themselves, ceasing to be a neutral party. This was stated at a briefing on Thursday by the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova.
She noted that the "nuclear narrative" about Moscow's intentions to use nuclear weapons is being promoted by the Western media, while the position of the Russian Federation on this matter has not changed. Russia considers the EU sanctions illegitimate, also insisting on its participation in the investigation of the explosions on the Nord Stream and Nord Stream-2 gas pipelines.
TASS collected the main statements of Zakharova.
About the participation of the West in the conflict in Ukraine
Support from the West "delays the fighting and pushes the Kiev regime to new crimes." "More and more money is pouring" to Kiev, "so that even more people die, so that the region is completely flooded with blood."
The Americans openly admit that they transmit satellite and other intelligence data to the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in almost real time, and participate in the planning of combat operations. "Isn't this complicity? This is a real hybrid war."
If the European Union creates a mission to provide military assistance to Ukraine, it will "consolidate its status as a participant in the conflict." "The European Union also needs to decide on itself: they are still for negotiations or for the Borrel battlefield."
Austria and "many states that declared themselves neutral have lost this status."
The reaction of NATO countries to Kiev's application for accelerated accession shows that "the Kiev regime is only a tool for the West." At the same time, the countries "are aware of the seriousness and the crossing of all permissible borders, which will entail the most serious consequences," including the involvement of NATO in a large-scale conflict.
Businessman Elon Musk's plan for a settlement in Ukraine is viewed by Moscow "as a public discussion and as the point of view of people who have their own idea of what is happening."
About Kiev's actions
Vladimir Zelensky's decree on the impossibility of negotiations between Russia and Ukraine while Vladimir Putin is president of Russia was signed "at the behest of the West, which does not want the cessation of hostilities" and is ready to continue them "to the last Ukrainian." "This is Zelensky's dead end."
The Ukrainian Armed Forces and Ukrainian nationalists are engaged in the deliberate destruction of "grain crops and elevators", mining arable land and farmland.
"With the connivance of international organizations," including UNESCO, "teachers were actually divided into two classes - right and wrong." Teachers are "put in jail, just physically abused" for "daring to speak their native language, teach in their native language for themselves and students."
About the "Northern Streams"
Russia is not allowed to investigate the emergency on the "Northern Streams". This is reminiscent of the situation "with the Malaysian Boeing, which crashed over the territory of Ukraine." "This is already a classic of the genre."
Moscow regards what happened on the gas pipelines "as deliberate sabotage against the most important infrastructure facility" and will seek an open investigation with its participation. "If the West has the same as always: non-admission of owners, failure to provide facts, concealment of facts and the emphasis will be placed on controlled media and manipulation of data in the form of leaks and unnamed sources, then it is clear what this investigation will lead to. It won't come to anything."
The Danish authorities, who are opposed to Russia's participation in the investigation, "may know who did it, and therefore they are simply not interested in Moscow's opinion." Accusations against the Russian Federation in this situation are absurd, since Moscow has invested significant funds in the construction and operation of the "Northern Streams".
About sanctions
EU sanctions are illegitimate. "If they do such illegitimate, illegal actions, then they have no right in principle to talk about the legitimacy or illegitimacy of the actions of others."
Brussels, "which endlessly pays lip service to the rule of law, not only violates these principles itself, but literally forces other states to follow the same path" of imposing restrictions against the Russian Federation.
Moscow will respond to the introduction of a ceiling on Russian oil prices by reorienting exports to countries that are ready to "cooperate normally".
About the nuclear conflict
The Western media are trying to impose a "nuclear narrative" in the context of the Ukrainian crisis, accusing Russia of "nuclear blackmail, threats" and replicating speculation about Moscow's alleged impending use of nuclear weapons. "We do not intend to participate in this terrible discourse dedicated to pumping up nuclear rhetoric."
"The Russian Federation is fully committed to the principle of the inadmissibility of nuclear war. We have repeatedly said and confirmed this: there can be no winners in such a war, it should never be unleashed."
"Washington and other Western capitals may be interested in a dangerous escalation of the situation when writing it off to our country. This is done within the framework of Washington's destructive line for international security and strategic stability to ensure global dominance by any means."
"We cannot understand in any way why the real threat around the nuclear facility - the Zaporozhye NPP - is not given any proper attention in the Western media, given that they know perfectly well who has been creating threats to this facility for many months."
