The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, in an interview with Izvestia on Thursday, February 10, described the situation in the world with a quote from the film Moscow Does Not Believe in Tears. The politician also spoke about how it is to celebrate the Day of the Diplomatic Worker in the face of international tension.
“To be honest, I don’t remember that the holiday was held in any other conditions. We always have a tense situation in the world, as described in the film “Moscow Does Not Believe in Tears”: there is no stability. Here we are still in these same conditions, ”complained Zakharova.
The representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs also noted that over the years only the topics change.
“Now it is Ukraine, allegedly an “invasion” of its territory. A year and a half ago, there were “stuffing and fakes” of Russia about Western vaccines. The topic of hackers has been around for several years. Recently, there was the topic of Syria and our supposedly failed operation from all points of view of the West,” Zakharova explained.
The diplomat recalled how in the West the Russian operation in Syria was called the “second Afghanistan”. She noted that now “Afghanistan happened to Western partners” when last summer the US tried to take out those Afghans who were counting on them.
“We live in an environment of constant attacks, accusations and false promises over the years. We have developed a certain immunity to this. Sometimes the degree of rhetoric rises, sometimes it becomes a little lower. And then the pressing problems that the Western community faces, and which requires an immediate pooling of efforts, set them the task of starting a dialogue in the name of their own survival, ”Zakharova emphasized, answering a question about the celebration of the professional day.
The representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry added that the disinformation spread through the media is unusually strong. At the same time, in the era of the Internet, anyone can check all the facts himself, Zakharova noted.
“It is amazing how cynically they deceive people. This is the only thing that is still shocking, and we have already gone through everything else, ”the diplomat summed up.
Earlier, on February 9, Zakharova called on the representative of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) on freedom of the media Teresa Ribeira to take an honest position in the situation around the TV channels RT DE and Deutsche Welle (DW).
According to her, the Russian side failed to find a single statement by Ribeiro in connection with the “harassment” and “slander campaign” against RT in Germany and other countries. At the same time, Zakharova noted, Moscow’s response to actions against Russian media causes a flurry of indignation from the OSCE representative.
