Russia on Friday accused the US of creating “billions of dollars” on the expense of odd Ukrainian residents‘ lives, urging Kyiv to grasp that Americans are at all times involved with themselves.

“Ukraine must understand that it is not the main concern of the US. The main concern for the United States has always been the Americans themselves. And even at the cost of a large number of lives of those same Ukrainians,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated at a press briefing in Moscow.

Peskov’s response got here when he replied to a query about feedback made by US Secretary of State Antony Blinken following a gathering on Thursday with UK Foreign Secretary David Cameron, who stated 90% of Washington’s safety help for Ukraine has been spent on US producers and producers within the US.

“Very eloquent confession,” Peskov stated of Blinken’s remark, including that it’s a continuation of Washington’s US-centric coverage, which is being carried out “at the cost of the lives of Ukrainians” within the case of Ukraine.

“It is the Americans who earn billions and billions of dollars from expensive energy resources, from the gas they supply to Europe, from oil. It is the Americans who provide themselves with jobs, increased tax collections, loading their production with orders for shells, military equipment, and so on,” the Kremlin spokesman stated, including, “It’s a pity that this is still not understood in Kyiv.”

He additionally claimed that Western politicians are utilizing “tricks” to persuade individuals to vote for allocating additional cash to Ukraine.

“I don’t think there is any need to comment on them, there are a lot of such words now. They resort, so to speak, to all sorts of tricks, just to convince their parliamentarians to vote for the further allocation of money. Therefore, there have been many such statements, and they will probably continue,” he stated.
