"The United States has been confronting Russia not for just eight years, but for decades. Suffice it to recall the Cold War chronology, when the States ideologically, politically and economically sought to resist the USSR,” Dmitry Belik said, adding that the United States was involved in coup d'état in different parts world, and the Maidan coup in Ukraine was no exception.
