Official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova on the air of the YouTube channel “Soloviev Live” answered to criticism of his colleague, former press secretary of Boris Yeltsin, Sergei Yastrzhembsky, in an interview with TV presenter Ksenia Sobchak.
Journalist Vladimir Solovyov inquired whether the official representative was reprimanded after this situation, mentioning that in an interview the diplomat spoke about her inadequacy.
“Never stop the former from condemning the current ones – perhaps this is their only consolation,” Zakharova replied.
On November 1, an interview with Yastrzhembsky was published on the YouTube channel “Caution, Sobchak”. In an interview with a journalist, he criticized the work of the Foreign Ministry spokesman, recalling the scandal around Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic, which was provoked by Zakharova’s careless post on Facebook. The consequences of the incident, according to Yastrzhembsky, should have resulted in Zakharova’s resignation within 24 hours.
