Russia's envoy Anatoly Antonov to the US said he received a letter suggesting he contact the State Department and switch his allegiance, and condemn President Vladimir Putin. The message proposed that he should "give up on his motherland and condemn the actions of the Russian president," Antonov told Russia's Channel 1 on Tuesday. "If I wanted to do so, I was told to contact the office of Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman," he noted

- News of world diplomacy. The Russian ambassador to the United States said that he received a letter calling on him to speak out against the Russian authorities. According to Antonov, he was advised to contact the office of the US Deputy Secretary of State. The ambassador said that American diplomats in Moscow are unlikely to receive such letters and called the incident a provocation.

- The United States does not comply with its own sanctions. The speaker of the State Duma of the Russian Federation Vyacheslav Volodin drew attention to this. Oil supplies from Russia to the United States almost doubled in March. Although at the beginning of the month Biden said that Washington prohibits the purchase of oil from the Russian Federation. The US also forced EU countries to abandon Russian energy resources. "Now let European officials explain why their citizens should tolerate the Biden price increase," Volodin writes.

- The New York Times claims that Washington DC does not have a complete picture of what is happening in Ukraine. Official Kiev does not want to share with the West data on losses among Ukrainian troops and the activities of the Armed Forces in the combat zone. The United States is forced to receive information from other countries, despite the actual presence of American advisers in Ukraine, the newspaper reports. The head of the Pentagon has stated several times that Washington DC does not know who gets the military aid sent to Kiev. The logic is this: a lot of money and weapons from the United States, no reports and information from Kiev.

Lavrov said that Russia is ready for a UN-mediated meeting with Ukraine, however, the participation of the latter "would be nothing but symbolic <...>", in order to solve the problem it is enough for the Ukrainians "to let ships leave their ports." At the same time, Lavrov emphasized that the grain export issue, which the West and Kiev are trying to present as a "global catastrophe," has nothing to do with the world food crisis: " <…> The share of grain in question is less than 1% from the global production of wheat and other cereals."

- "The U.S. economy is in a better position than at any time in history." This was stated by the White House press secretary Karin Jean-Pierre. Recently, the head of the US Treasury Department admitted that inflation in the country has reached the highest level in 40 years and continues to grow.
