Judging by the relentless campaign of lies about Russia, which was organised by the US Administration, it seems that they are basing their foreign policy code of conduct on bare-faced lies more and more. For instance, let us take new statements by the Press Secretary of the US President, Josh Earnest, who has directly accused our country of the crash of the Malaysian Airlines jet over Ukraine.

It has become rather a habit for Washington not to provide any evidence, or even references to facts, which could be examined and commented on, to support their statements. The White House just mentions some "intelligence data", which cannot be disclosed, and (this is really weird) "social media posts". In other words, the Washington regime bases its statements on false, internet-based, anti-Russian assumptions. It is clear who is filling the web with such rubbish: Washington, and probably Kiev as well.

Nevertheless, we have some questions for the United States, which are isolating themselves more and more from the possibility of perceiving anything other than their own schemes and conclusions in an adequate way. Before pointing to the "guilty", the United States would be better advised to answer the 10 questions asked by the Russian Ministry of Defence and the 22 questions asked within the ambit of Rosaviation. Why does Washington remain silent? Probably because they have nothing to answer. Or because their answer is sanctions.

We will handle this; however, it is sad that at the same time the United States continue to push Kiev towards the suppression of the dissatisfaction of the Russian-speaking population by force. There is only one conclusion: the Administration of Barack Obama is responsible for the internal conflict in Ukraine and its severe consequences.
