WASHINGTON, SEP 5 : The US authorities want to burn out the foundation of bilateral relations with Russia, putting the world in danger, Russian Ambassador to Washington Anatoly Antonov said.

“The Russian side has never equated the wise people of the United States with the administration. It is obvious to everyone: the local authorities are doing everything to not only ‘tear’ the fabric of Russian-American ties, but to completely burn out their foundation. Such a policy poses a danger to the cause of preserving peace and global stability,” Antonov said in a statement.(UNI)
