The main thing from the interview of the Ambassador of the Russian Federation in Washington, Anatoly Antonov, to the Rossiya channel:
- The US will not return the seized Russian diplomatic property, the ambassador is sure;
- Russian proposals for the work of diplomatic missions in Washington are not accepted, at the end of June 28 Russian diplomats will leave the United States;
- Russia wants to stabilize relations with the United States, there is potential;
- after the start of the Russian special operation, Antonov has no opportunity to meet with representatives of the State Department, and his letters to the American department do not reach the addressees;
- the embassy in Washington, one might say, is under blockade, and threats are coming to employees: “The accounts of our two consulates general - in Houston and New York - were closed by Bank of America. At one time, even the exit from the embassy was blocked”;
- The states, in fact, “committed a theft” by blocking Russian accounts.
