"You steal our money. We decided to keep our money, our savings [in US and European banks]. How is it possible to trust you?" he told Politico in an interview.
The diplomat noted that Moscow has "made a lot of mistakes on the international scene."
"We trusted the United States that we could become real partners," he explained.
Moscow and Washington are still "doomed" to cooperate on a number of issues, Antonov added.
"It’s impossible to imagine even under such circumstances that problems of strategic stability, climate change, coronavirus, fighting against terrorism, fighting against the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction could be solved without active engagement of the United States and Russia," he stated.
Russia launched a special military operation in Ukraine on 24 February in response to calls from the Donbass republics of Donetsk and Lugansk for help in countering intensifying attacks by Ukrainian troops. The Russian Defence Ministry said the special operation is targeting Ukrainian military infrastructure only.
In response, the US and its allies have rolled out comprehensive sanctions, including export control measures, SWIFT cutoff for some Russian banks, closure of airspace to all Russian flights, and a freeze of Russia's international reserves. Finance Minister Anton Siluanov estimated that about half, or $300 billion of the country's foreign reserves, have been frozen.
