The United States of America has
said that Russia is not its friend and will not be until its government has,
“the values that it has.”
The Russian Embassy earlier
lampooned the US for, “unmotivated” and “hostile” actions against its people.
The U.S. Ambassador to the UN,
Nikki Haley, said at a retreat of the Republican Party.
According to CNN, the ambassador
said yesterday, “[Moscow] is not, will not, be our friend. As long as their
government has the values that it has, and as long as it conducts itself the
way it does internationally.
Haley said that she believed
Moscow to be involved in the attempts to meddle in the 2016 U.S. presidential
election, calling it, “an outrageous thing.”
The envoy also claimed that
Moscow was backing the Syrian government, protecting Iran from more thorough
legal inspections and illegally occupying Ukrainian territory.
Ukraine and a number of Western
countries do not recognise the decision of the Crimean residents to rejoin
Russia.
More than 90 per cent of the
region’s inhabitants voted for the reunification in March 2014, shortly after
the new government came to power in Kiev.
According to Haley, the U.S. had
sent advanced weapons to Ukraine, carried out successful strikes in Syria and
toughened sanctions on Russia.
“Russia hates all of those moves,
and most of them did not exist before this administration … And that’s the way
it should be, until Russia starts to act like a responsible country,” she said,
Moscow has repeatedly refuted
allegations of intervention in the U.S. presidential election, with
presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov calling them groundless and Foreign
Minister Sergey Lavrov pointing out that the accusations had never been backed
up by any evidence.
