In Russia the “anti-Russian” in the US defense budget saw a recognition of its power
Senator Viktor Bondarev considered financial assistance to Ukraine by the recognition of the military forces of the Russian Federation
Russia will take into account the “anti-Russian” signed by the President of the United States Donald trump in the defense budget. About this stated the Chairman of the Federation Council Committee on defense and security Viktor Bondarev, reports RIA Novosti.
“We cannot ignore this, to ignore such attacks,” — said Bondarev.
In his opinion, “anti-Russian” orientation of the US military budget is kind of recognition of the power of Russia.
“States, constantly saying, how big they are, and we are retarded… In fact, Americans feel our strength,” — said the Senator.
Bondarev noted that the allocation of American funds to develop medium-range missiles and provision for “containment of Russia in Europe,” military assistance to Ukraine is “in essence, recognition of our military force and international prestige”.
However, he stressed that the Russian budget under “defense” does not contain “mirror” articles.

“We are strengthening your defenses not opportunistic but systematically and continuously,” said the Senator.
We will remind, the President of the United States Donald trump signed the law on the defence budget of the country for 2018, which provides for the allocation to Ukraine $ 350 million to deter Russian aggression.
