Speaking outside a meeting in the State Department, Anatolia Antonov said there was a “constructive talks” with Assistant Secretary of State for Europe Karen Donfreed.
The meeting came after a statement by the Pentagon, which said a Russian plane had tried several times to pour fuel before an American threat to international airspace before cutting its propeller, forcing it into the Black Sea, which Russia denies.
We don't want any confrontation between the US and the Russian Federation. We are in favour of pragmatic relations for the interests of the US people and the Russian Federation”, said Mr. Antonov.
We have exchanged our remarks on this matter because we have certain differences about what happened today”
He added: “I think it was a constructive conversation on this issue, I've heard her remarks, I hope she understood what I've mentioned”.
Asked whether he was discussing the war in Ukraine, the Russian ambassador to the US said: “We are not discussing the war in Ukraine because there is no war in Ukraine. There is a problem of a special military operation that is carrying out the Russian Federation.
The purpose and intentions of this operation are clear. We've explained it many times. ”
