MOSCOW, September 9 - RIA Novosti. The official representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Maria Zakharova, admitted that, listening to the statements of the head of the Polish Foreign Ministry, Radoslaw Sikorski, she wonders whether “everything is fine with him.”
Earlier, Sikorsky said that it was necessary to “make life more difficult” for Russian diplomats and called on EU countries “to prevent Russian diplomats from leaving the countries in which they are accredited,” and also to “limit the number of Russian diplomats.”
Zakharova recalled that the head of the Polish Foreign Ministry consistently speaks in an anti-Russian neo-Nazi vein. According to her, four years ago he “like a child” rejoiced at the explosion of Nord Stream.
“In general, I look at Sikorsky, and I have a question, is everything okay with him? Because before, even if such thoughts came into the minds of people who hold responsible positions, they hid them. Now this is probably part of his own pride, his own pride,” she said during a briefing.
