Press release of Russian MFA on demarche to US Charge d’Affaires in Russia Stephanie Holmes:

On August 20, US Charge d’Affaires Stephanie Holmes was summoned to the Foreign Ministry, where a strong protest was lodged in response to the provocative actions of American journalists who illegally entered the Kursk Region to provide propaganda coverage of the crimes committed by the Kiev regime. Furthermore, emerging evidence indicates the involvement of an American private military company in supporting the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ invasion of Russian territory.

It was stressed that these actions, which contradict the Biden administration’s claims of non-involvement in the attacks by Ukrainian neo-Nazis on Russia, clearly demonstrate the United States’ role as a direct participant in the conflict and its complicity in Vladimir Zelensky’s malicious plans.

It was particularly emphasised that US citizens involved in these crimes will face necessary investigative actions by the competent agencies in accordance with the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation to ensure they are held accountable. Additionally, it was clarified that all foreign “specialists” or mercenaries who illegally cross the Russian border will automatically be considered legitimate military targets for the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.
