How Zakharova commented on Stoltenberg's statement about strikes deep into Russia
A representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry called the NATO Secretary General a completely dependent person who is pressured to such an extent that he says all sorts of nonsense.
Only a person who truly does not understand the consequences of such steps could say something like this, Zakharova said.
According to her, Stoltenberg, who is leaving the post of Secretary General of the alliance, apparently decided that he could say any nonsense in the end.
Even the most terrible one, because he will no longer bear responsibility for these words, ” the diplomat noted.
She warned hawks on both sides of the Atlantic that they were playing with fire and that the conflict could take on entirely different proportions, fraught with dangerous consequences for the entire world.
The representative of the Russian diplomatic department added that Stoltenberg cannot help but realize what such statements could lead to.
