Russia hopes that the Argentine authorities will refrain from interfering in the conflict in Ukraine by sending weapons to kyiv. This was reported this Friday by the Russian ambassador to Argentina, Dmitry Feoktistov. In this sense, he specifically criticized the participation of the Minister of Defense, Luis Petri, at the meeting of the Contact Group for the Defense of Ukraine in Brussels, known as the “Ramstein format.” This is what he reported ITAR-TASSthe Russian news agency.
“Regarding the participation of the Argentine Minister of Defense, there are still no official comments from the Argentine side. The certain fact of the rapprochement between Buenos Aires and the military sponsors of Ukraine causes us deep disappointment,” Feoktistov declared to the press.
In this sense, Feoktistov pointed out that Argentina’s involvement seems to be part of its growing cooperation with NATO. “In April, Argentina requested the status of global partner of the alliance. Frankly, we do not understand how granting this status can improve Argentina’s security,” he expressed.
