Envoy: Russia not looking for conflict with US

Russian Ambassador to the United States Anatoly Antonov said on Tuesday that Moscow does not want confrontation with Washington and that Russia is “in favor of building pragmatic relations” to benefit the two peoples. The Russian diplomat made the comments after he was summoned to the US Department of State over an aerial incident involving the two countries’ military aircraft. Although Antonov described the meeting with American diplomats as “constructive” and revealed that no “consequences” were mentioned, he pointed out that Russia sees still the incident as a “provocation,” according to Russian state news agencies.
