The desire of the United States to prove its leadership in all areas leads to the use of any, including illegal methods of combating competitors. This was stated by the official representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia Maria Zakharov on the air TV channel “Russia 24”.
According to her, now the United States and their allies use all possible political resources, and not “compete on equal.” Zakharova stressed that such behavior was dictated by the “amended attitude to international law” and the sense of the United States of its own exclusivity in the desire to dictate the rules around the world. “They absolutely do not care what it is out of law,” the diplomat concluded.
In particular, Zakharova expressed dissatisfaction with Washington’s behavior at the 2020 Olympics. She reproached the United States in “Too big appetite” and advised the international community to beware of the threats hanging over them.
Previously, the diploman commented on conflicts with the participation of Russian athletes taking place at the Tokyo Olympic Games. The diplomat found what was happening attempted to provoke Russians.
