The call of the American congressmen not to consider Vladimir Putin the president of Russia if he holds this post after May 7, 2024, is an “autumn intervention” in the affairs of a sovereign state. This was stated on Friday, November 19, by the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova.
The fact that American lawmakers Stephen Cohen (Democrat from Tennessee) and Joe Wilson (Republican from South Carolina) submitted a draft resolution with such an appeal to the House of Representatives of the US Congress, it became known earlier that day. The country’s executive branch has the right to ignore such documents.
“This is not just interference in the affairs of a sovereign state, but this autumn intervention in the affairs of a sovereign state. To be honest, I thought they would last until spring, but you see, for some reason they broke off in November. Maybe the autumn is warm, I don’t know, ”Zakharova said on the air of the TV channel“Russia 24“.
The diplomat noted that the actions of a number of states in the world arena are part of foreign policy or internal political process. At the same time, some decisions are made in connection with certain aspects of bilateral relations or with some ideology of the state.
“But what we see now, in my opinion, generally goes in isolation from everything. They are truly out of touch with reality. It’s just that every year it becomes more and more noticeable, ”concluded Zakharova.
In the Federation Council, the draft resolution was called nonsense and nonsense. Konstantin Dolgov, deputy chairman of the committee of the upper house of parliament on economic policy, stressed that these are all links in one propaganda chain.
As political scientist Marat Bashirov noted, two congressmen who are Russophobic, in his opinion, introduced a resolution for the purpose of PR. The expert pointed out that such initiatives often appear in the United States, are “showman” and have nothing to do with real politics.
In turn, the press secretary of the Russian leader Dmitry Peskov stressed that the Kremlin considers the document to be a demonstration of Washington’s interference in the internal affairs of other countries.
