Antonov said such statements were"striking in their cynicism and absurdity." He added:"The U.S. did not find it possible to acknowledge what is obvious—it was a terrorist action planned by the Zelensky regime and an assassination attempt targeting the President of the Russian Federation." "The words of the bureaucrats about allegedly deterring the Kyiv Nazi regime from hitting targets outside its borders are a false farce," Antonov said, returning to the common accusation from Moscow that Zelensky's democratically elected government is a far-right junta.
