In a significant shift in geopolitical relations, the Kremlin has officially declared the United States an “enemy” for the first time ever amid ongoing tensions over Ukraine.
The announcement comes from Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov, citing this as part of a broader pattern of preventing U.S. citizens from interacting with Russia.
This marks a notable change in Russia’s rhetoric, moving from previous terms like “unfriendly states” or “opponents” to explicitly calling the U.S. an enemy.
The strain in U.S.-Russia relations has been escalating, especially following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
The conflict has seen the West, led by the U.S., providing significant support to Ukraine, which Russia perceives as direct involvement in the conflict.
The U.S., for its part, has been increasingly critical of Russia’s actions in Ukraine and has imposed various sanctions.
The U.S. has also been supportive of Ukraine, providing military aid and allowing Ukraine to use American-supplied weapons to strike targets within Russia.
This development is a clear indicator of the worsening relations between the U.S. and Russia, marking a new low in their diplomatic ties.
The implications of this declaration are yet to be fully understood, but it could potentially lead to further escalations and tensions between the two superpowers.
