MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Washington’s assessment of the actions of the International Criminal Court (ICC) towards Russia and Israel is an example of double standards and hypocrisy, Russian Ambassador to the United States Anatoly Antonov said on Tuesday.
"This is another example of double standards and a parade of American hypocrisy.

At the same time they brazenly use this pseudolegal instrument against their alleged enemies," Antonov said in a statement.
