The U.S.' declaration that it has formally determined that Russia has committed crimes against humanity during the war in Ukraine is an attempt to 'demonize Russia,' Anatoly Antonov, Russia's ambassador to the United States, told reporters.

"We consider such insinuations as an attempt, unprecedented in terms of its cynicism, to demonize Russia in the course of a hybrid war, unleashed against us," Antonov said, in a media exchangeAntonov added that the message was intended to justify the U.S.' "own actions to fuel the Ukrainian crisis" and denounced the U.S. for providing offensive weapons to Ukraine.

Antonov alleged that the U.S. ignores the "use of prohibited indiscriminate ammunition by the armed forces of Ukraine" and that it "turns a blind eye to the atrocities of the Zelensky regime," which he said included "shootings of unarmed captured Russian soldiers.

"We reserve crimes against humanity determinations for the most egregious crimes. Today’s determination underlines the staggering extent of the human suffering inflicted by Moscow on the Ukrainian civilian population," Blinken added.China is now considering providing Russia with "lethal assistance" for the war in Ukraine, which could include weapons, Blinken told NBC's "Meet the Press" in an interview that aired Sunday.

Blinken stressed that while the move was under consideration, "we have not seen them cross that line."U.S. should designate RussiaGraham noted that such a designation would "make it harder for China to give weapons to Russia" since it would mean that China would subsequently be subject to sanctions.

The US didn't have to do anything. Russia did that all by themselves.

Because they are demons who commit war crimes!

Russia demonized itself years ago.

Spoken like a rapist. So misunderstood.

Oh I don't know ambassador, you and Lavrov are already doing great demonizing Russia by yourselves. Not to mention the footage recorded & spread by your own lapdogs on Telegram etc.

Russia is demonizing itself by committing crimes against humanity

They call a spade a spade ..if you don't like it, stop and leave democratic Ukraine

They’re terrible world citizens.

Only NATO and USA now believe their own lies and propaganda. The rest of the world is with Russia. God bless President Putin. 🙄🙄🙄

If Putin wants to STOP being called out as a WAR CRIMINAL, he needs to STOP the crimes against humanity he is committing! WeStandWithUKRAINE 🇺🇲🌻🇺🇦

They are establishing that fact on a daily basis, and having doing it for decades RussiaisATerroistState

Trying? They have evidence of widespread war crimes.

You can’t demonize a demon

Putin has already ' demonized' Russia

Right. Saying what they’ve actually done is demonizing them. Good grief.

Um, well, Yes it is because ..well.. it is what it is.😷

Yes. Exactly. That’s the point.

Absolutely the Russian is right.. So what the Americans did in Afghanistan and Iraq wasn't a crime against humanity!

This effer almost certainly has webbed toes, although he'll deny that, too.

Ok sure, and rightly so. What with the crimes against humanity and all.

And he's right! This administration does not understand diplomacy.

Said the guy who carries a parachute with him at all times.

Nobody cares what officials of Nazi Russia say to deny their crimes.

Russian envoy claims West is determined to destroy RussiaUNITED NATIONS (AP) — A week before the anniversary of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the Kremlin’s U.N. ambassador claimed that the West is driven by its determination to destroy Russia and declared: “We had no choice other than to defend our country — defend it from you, to defend our identity and our future.” Duh I don’t think Russia needs any help from outside powers they’re doing a magnificent job all on their own. I’m looking forward to the final act of total collapse.
