Russia's ambassador to the U.S. has said that ties between Moscow and Washington, D.C. started to sour about a decade ago because of Ukraine, which he says the U.S. continues to wield as a political tool to pressure the Kremlin.
Antonov noted how Ukraine was a common denominator in other areas of dispute between Moscow and Washington, D.C.
However, Antonov insisted that for Moscow, the pipeline linking Russia's Arctic to Germany was only an"economic project" and that the U.S. opposition to it was driven by"unfair competition on international markets."'s opposition to the pipeline was simply a move to"save face" to protect U.S. interests in Ukraine.
"I have discussed this issue with many [U.S.] politicians," he said,"I am not lying but some of them don't know where Ukraine is. So, I don't understand why it's so important for the United States.
