Russia’s special military operation in Ukraine is aimed at demilitarization and denazification of the country, and Moscow will ensure that the country has a non-nuclear and neutral status, Russian Ambassador to the US said.

Anatoly Antonov slammed the recent decision by the Organization of American States (OAS) to suspend Russia’s observer status over the situation in Ukraine as a part of a “deliberate campaign to isolate Russia at international platforms”.

“The Russian special military operation in Ukraine is aimed at demilitarization, denazification of Ukraine. We need a confirmation of this eastern European country’s non-nuclear and neutral status. We will ensure it. This is vital for our Slavic peoples living in Russia, Ukraine and Belarus”, - he added.
