The US State Department said Russia could never take back the northern state of Alaska, whose territory was sold to the US in the 19th century. This was reported by RIA News citing an unnamed department official.
“I think I can speak for all of us in the US government. He (Russian President Vladimir Putin – socialbites.ca) will not be able to undo this,” said the deputy press secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, whom the agency did not name.
The representative spoke about the state of Alaska at a briefing, answering a question from one of the reporters. At the same time, the correspondent noted that Putin allegedly signed a decree stating that the sale of Alaska was “illegal.” The journalist also confused the date of the agreement between the United States and the Russian Empire, showing 1983 instead of 1867.
The answer to this question was probably given by Vedant Patel, who has been serving as a member of parliament since June 2022 and previously served as deputy press secretary in the American foreign policy department. His biography and location are published at: Web site Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
According to RIA Novosti, the question was inspired by Putin’s decision on the allocation of funds for legal protection of foreign real estate abroad of the Russian Federation, the former Russian Empire and the USSR. Document printed January 18.
Previously historian said About real estate in the West that could be Russian.
