WASHINGTON
\nThe US State Department\u2019s statements about Russia\u2019s growing isolation don\u2019t withstand criticism and are triggered by US officials\u2019 \u2018inflamed imagination\u2019, the Russian Embassy in the US said on Monday.
\n\u201cWe paid attention to the statement of the State Department\u2019s press office that our country is allegedly becoming an \u201coutcast\u201d, and Russian contacts are aimed at \u201ccontrolling the onslaught of outrage\u201d against us,\u201d the Russian diplomatic mission said in a message published on its Telegram channel.
\n\u201cBaseless statements do not stand up to criticism. The Russian leadership is actively involved in international affairs. Another confirmation of this is the busy schedule of the African tour of Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov,\u201d the diplomats stressed.
\n\u201cAttempts to present our country as an isolated one are caused by the \u201cinflamed imagination\u201d of US officials who are increasingly losing touch with reality,\u201d the embassy pointed out. \u201cIt is noteworthy that the soaked in Russophobia desire of the US State Department to distort the actual picture of events causes confusion not only among us, but also among the American media,\u201d the diplomats added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
